New York Governor Announces Massive Statewide Hiring After Major Federal Job Cuts

With federal job cuts on the rise, New York Governor Kathy Hochul says New York "Wants You" for open jobs around the state. 

If you happen to work for the federal government right now you're probably keeping your eyes and ears open to make sure you don't hear the sound of a chainsaw coming toward your office.

Cuts and layoffs can be scary in any industry, but for years government employees have had pretty good job security. After a major round of cuts to departments like the TSA, FAA, and IRS, they don't appear to be over just yet. According to the BBC you can expect thousands of cuts at the Pentagon as well.

As troubling as that may seem, it may not be over for those employees as New York says they have opportunities and open positions available for those federal employees who have lost their jobs.

Governor Kathy Hochul announced this statewide hiring in an Instagram video on Tuesday morning and that linked over to the open jobs in New York state.

There are hiring to fill thousands of positions, according to their website and they vary from department to department.

From first responders to engineers, to legal professionals to plow drivers, there are limitless opportunities to find a job you will love.

Working for New York State as long been a very sought after position. In the past before you would apply to many of these jobs you would need to take the Civil Service Exam. However they've decided to expedite that process in order to get these jobs filled quickly.
