Probably a dumb question, but would you apply to work for the State? There is several positions in my current field with the State. I am a bit hesitant with the current turmoil and layoffs going off. I thought the State was in a freeze.
Anyone know how bad stability and security is at the state level for employment?
No because you'll have a high probability of being laid off. With a state economy of always being unpredictable, there's a chance there will be more lay offs in the future. State employees do however, get paid very well and have good benefits. If you know for a fact that your job will be protected then go ahead, I'd give it a try. However...As a taxpayer, I will definitely like to see less benefits and less pay instead of lay offs especially with the budget crisis we're in but I don't think that'll happen. Politicians (for the most part) wouldn't agree and vote in less pay for themselves.
Will give it a shot. Last state job I applied to was 2 years ago they sent me a postcard saying we are in a freeze can't hire you. It's with DCF will update if any news in the future with the job.
Are you a nurse? If so, keep your eye on UConn Health's postings. DCF - don't be surprised if you are hired now that they just laid a ton off, then are let go when (if - but basing it on history) they call back those laid off.

I can tell you from experience, the more senior Union guys will let layoffs happen rather than take a hit in pay and bennies

That's what I am concerned about. No i am a counselor working on my way to nursing, more money/more opportunities, in school doing the prerequisites.
