New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the state will now permit migrants with federal work authorization to seek thousands of temporary government positions, marking a significant shift in policy, as reported<\/a> by Politico.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have 10,000 openings in the New York State workforce,\u201d Hochul stated last week, as cited<\/a> by New York\u2019s Spectrum News. \u201cThese are all legal people.\u201d<\/p>\n This move makes New York the first state in the United States to relax eligibility requirements for migrants to apply for government employment. Hochul aims to fill approximately 4,000 entry-level roles within state agencies, including clerical, technical support, repair, and food service positions.<\/p>\n In addition to allowing non-citizens to apply, Hochul\u2019s administration is streamlining certain requirements such as education qualifications, English language proficiency, and certification.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m anxious to get this moving quickly,\u201d Hochul expressed during a press conference in Albany. \u201cWhen we get them approved, we can get them matched to jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
