Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin appears to be following through with a promise to help federal workers find new employment after their jobs were cut by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
The Republican governor has announced a new website to assist them find employment in the Virginia government on virginiahasjobs.com.
“We care about you,” Youngkin said at the Capital One Center in McLean. “And we have a support system in order to help you find that next great opportunity.”
“But the reality,” he said, “is that any CEO who steps into a position where there is an organization that has had such deep financial challenges is going to have to make change.”
Virginia is home to one of the largest populations of federal employees with over 144,000, according to a December 2024 congressional report. That number rises significantly when you add in commuters working in Washington, D.C. and Maryland, rising to over 300,000.
