John,

The so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) may be saying, “You’re fired” – but here in New York State, we’re saying, "You're hired!”

I know the skills, dedication, and experience that federal employees bring to public service – and we value those qualities in our state workforce. From public safety to education, health care to transportation, and more, our team is committed to make a difference in the lives of all New Yorkers.

I recently met with some of the workers hastily dismissed from their jobs. We're fighting for people like them.

We have thousands of open positions, and these jobs are open to EVERYONE - not just federal employees. If you’re a federal employee looking for a new opportunity, know someone who is, or are a New Yorker interested in public service, visit ny.gov/wewantyou to learn more about our open positions.

Because in New York, we don't turn our backs on hardworking public servants. We open our doors.

Ever Upward,

Gov. Kathy Hochul
