The government jobs available in Maryland range from inspecting elevators to providing clinical psychiatric care, with salaries ranging from $36,093 to $463,485. Gov. Wes Moore and other officials are working to fill state vacancies amid a $3.3 billion budget shortfall. To aid federal workers who have been laid off, Moore has launched an initiative to connect them with state and private sector opportunities.
Over 1,100 former federal workers in Maryland have filed for unemployment since President Trump took office, prompting the state to hold job fairs and provide resources for job seekers. The state government job board lists over 430 positions, while an additional 130,000 openings are available in the private sector.
Employers from various industries, including healthcare and technology, are actively recruiting at job fairs in locations like Frederick, Baltimore, and Anne Arundel County. The state is also seeking to address teacher shortages by recruiting more educators. Despite the challenges posed by the federal job cuts, experts believe that Maryland is in a better position than other states to absorb unemployed workers due to its stronger economy and low unemployment rate.
The state’s efforts to connect federal workers with job opportunities in both the public and private sectors are aimed at minimizing the economic impact of the layoffs and providing specialized talent to employers. Job seekers can access resources and assistance through a dedicated website set up by state officials.
