Allegheny Co. Seeking To Hire Displaced Federal Workers

PITTSBURGH, PA — With extensive employee reductions occurring in many federal departments and agencies, Allegheny County has established a jobs portal for federal workers interested in bringing their experience to the county.

The portal can be accessed here.

Current or former federal workers are encouraged to answer several questions in the portal and submit their resume. County employees will then review and look for matchmaking opportunities with the county.

The county currently has 6,100 current full-time employees in 20 departments and has more than 1,000 openings for full- and part-time workers.

“While federal leaders are creating an atmosphere of chaos and cruelty in the federal government, we are demonstrating that we can run a government that is both competent and compassionate at Allegheny County," County Executive Sara Innamorato said in a statement.

"We are committed to being an employer that treats its workers with dignity and respect, so in turn they can offer excellent service to the more than 1.2 million residents of Allegheny County.”

The portal was introduced a day after Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an executive order attempting to lure federal employees by accepting their government occupational experience as equivalent to state government work experience.
