NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ASSISTS FEDERAL WORKERS IMPACTED BY LAYOFFS

In response to the unprecedented recent increase in federal government worker layoffs, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) is providing direct assistance to impacted federal employees in New Jersey, as well as job upskilling and career seeker services like interview preparation tools. 

“Here in New Jersey, we value our public servants and aim to empower them with the skills and resources needed to best serve the people of our nation,” said Governor Murphy. “As federal employees around the country navigate rapid changes and uncertainty, I am proud that we are providing accessible unemployment and career assistance to help our workers get back on the path to success.”

“As a former federal employee who had to file for unemployment, I know how difficult this period of unexpected transition must be for workers who have dedicated their careers to public service,” said Labor Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo. “Our department stands ready to help valued civil service employees who call New Jersey home receive the unemployment benefits they have earned and career support services they need to find the meaningful work they deserve.”
