Delaware’s Department of Human Resources has launched a marketing campaign to fill vacant state government jobs, and Secretary Claire DeMatteis said early returns look promising. However, just because the state is engaged in an aggressive push to fill positions doesn’t mean employee levels are in dire straits across the board. “A lot of agencies have a very steady workforce,” she said. “There’s also pockets within some state agencies that struggle with staffing.”
- Just leave them vacant and save money. No one would notice. It’s not like they produce value to the economy. — Tom Small
- Or like they do their jobs with efficiency. Nothing has changed. — Matthew Morris for Delaware
- Unless you are in upper-level positions that are mostly appointed by the governor, expect to live at or below poverty level on a state salary while your cost of benefits increase every year. — Jackie Veal Cates
- Maybe it’s time for her to go. — Ruth Hamilton
- Yep. Now, she is screwing up health care for senior state pensioners. — Dee Myers Cunningham
- I must have interviewed more than 20 times for a state job. I guess I didn’t have the correct qualifications? — Iam Wright
