In a video posted on social media on Tuesday, Gov. Mike Dunleavy made an overture to federal workers who may have been laid off by the Trump Administration, as the president seeks to downsize the federal government. There are state jobs to apply for, Dunleavy said: “Don’t lose heart.”
Dunleavy acknowledged there are hardworking people in the federal government who may now be looking for work, and he encouraged them to visit https://doa.alaska.gov/dop/ “to explore job openings, training programs, and support services to help navigate this transition.”
There are hundreds of vacant state jobs, including a 25% vacancy rate at the Alaska Marine Highway system.
