The state of New York is looking to recruit federal employees in Washington who were recently laid off amid the Trump administration’s efforts to trim the federal workforce.

The advertisement for New York’s recruitment drive on March 3 appears on digital signboards inside Union Station, the busy train hub in the nation’s capital.
