States are seizing an opportunity to recruit federal workers as the Trump administration looks to reduce the federal workforce. The Department of Government Efficiency has started cutting jobs, prompting Hawaii, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Maryland, and New York to actively target federal employees for state positions. An estimated 150 people have already shown interest in New York’s information sessions. While it’s unclear how many federal workers will transition to state roles and how demographics may change, there is a significant pool of 2.3 million federal employees who could potentially shift. The cost-cutting measures have resulted in job cuts at various agencies, including the CDC, FDA, and NIH. This recruitment effort not only serves to fill critical vacancies, but also stands as a counterweight to the federal government’s downsizing efforts. States are hopeful that they can attract talented individuals looking to continue their careers in new roles.
