Nevada Assembly members are urging Gov. Joe Lombardo to hire employees who have been laid off from the federal government amid widespread job cuts. With layoffs impacting federal workers in Southern Nevada, state lawmakers are proposing to integrate these individuals into state government roles. Concerns have been raised about the potential impact on the nearly 20,000 federal workers in Nevada, as layoffs could lead to the loss of incomes and Medicaid benefits. State leaders believe that hiring fired federal employees could help reduce Nevada’s high unemployment rate and ensure the continuity of essential public services. This proposal has already seen success in other states like Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico. Lombardo has been called upon to present plans of action to address this issue by state lawmakers by March 18. The initiative aims to provide economic stability and responsible governance, highlighting the bipartisan cooperation needed to support those affected by federal job cuts.
