With approximately 145,000 federal employees in Virginia, over 10,000 have already lost their\u2063 positions. Youngkin is advocating for this initiative amid efforts\u200b by the Department of Government Efficiency\u200c to reduce the\u200c workforce, which he defends as necessary to eliminate government &#8220;bloat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At a recent event\u200b in \u200cMcLean,Youngkin highlighted that there are\u200c over\u2064 250,000 job openings available in Virginia,which can be explored through\u2063 a newly launched website and\u200c a resource page specifically for unemployed \u200dfederal workers. He expressed sympathy for those affected by the layoffs, assuring that\u2063 the state is committed to supporting them in finding new\u2063 employment opportunities. Furthermore, he emphasized Virginia&#8217;s \u2063status as a \u200cleading state for business, encouraging both individuals and businesses to take \u200badvantage of the thriving\u2062 job market. Youngkin&#8217;s initiative follows criticism from \u2063Democratic lawmakers regarding the lack\u200c of resources for\u200d impacted federal employees, particularly in Northern Virginia, which is \u2064close to Washington, D.C.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Youngkin touts Virginia job market to help fired federal workers<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1998738\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/glenn-youngkin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Glenn Youngkin\">Glenn Youngkin<\/a> (R-VA) launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/virginia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Glenn Youngkin\">commonwealth<\/a>&lsquo;s &ldquo;Virginia Has Jobs&rdquo; initiative on Monday as scores of federal workers have lost or face losing their positions due to cuts in the federal workforce.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Roughly 145,000, or 6.3% of all federal workers, reside in Virginia, as the Department of Government Efficiency aims to shrink the federal workforce.
