In an effort to support federal workers affected by the DOGE layoffs, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey launched a website dedicated to connecting these employees with employment resources and job search tools. The site mass.gov/fedup It was created to help workers impacted by layoffs caused by budget cutting attempts by President Trump and Elon Musk.

Governor Healey emphasized the importance of these workers' skills and experience, stating that "what they do makes a difference." Healey invited the laid-off employees to join the Massachusetts team, saying the state could benefit from their experience, knowledge, and purpose to continue moving forward.

More than 46,000 people in Massachusetts worked in various federal government roles before the DOGE cuts. The new website offers access to a variety of job opportunities at state agencies such as the Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Department of Transportation, which have posted openings on the job board. MassCareersIt also links to the Massachusetts Municipal Association's job board, which lists local government positions.

In addition to job search resources, the site includes services specifically for veterans, who make up nearly 30% of the federal workforce. The site links to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Veterans Services and its employment assistance team.

Governor Healey has condemned the DOGE layoffs, calling them reckless, especially those affecting key employees who provide essential services to society, including veterans.

Massachusetts is offering a bridge to employment for laid-off workers, ensuring they continue to play a vital role in the community, contributing to the state's economic and social stability.
