Fox News
While also focusing on the private sector, Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro announced an effort to fill hundreds of state job openings while DOGE is trimming federal bureaucracy.
"The commonwealth recognizes that a workforce of dedicated and talented public servants is the backbone of a responsive government that can ensure the efficient and effective delivery of services for Pennsylvanians," Shapiro said in his order. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
The executive order seeks to "capitalize on federal layoffs by accepting federal work experience as equivalent to state experience for the state’s top recruitment needs," according to a separate statement from Shapiro. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
The statement added there will be an emphasis on veterans and military servicemembers also having direct access to recruiter-contacts, as well as publication of the 23 highest-priority, hardest-to-fill state jobs. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
