Hochul tells federal workers axed by Musk and Trump ‘You’re hired’ in new state government job recruitment campaign

New York state has launched a new recruitment campaign targeting former federal workers given the ax by Elon Musk, President Trump and the “Department of Government Efficiency.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Tuesday the “You’re Hired” initiative, which aims to bring recently downsized federal employees into state government. In a video, Hochul said that the Empire State welcomes those impacted by the Trump administration’s cuts to apply for positions available in numerous state agencies.
