State ends hiring freeze

Published Friday, May 22, 2009

The state is ending its hiring freeze as of June 1, according to a memo from Gov. Sarah Palin's chief of staff.

Departments asked for and received waivers to fill a variety of positions over the last four months, so it's not as if the state had stopped hiring altogether.

There are more waiver requests pending, said Mike Nizich in a memo to commissioners and other supervisors Thursday.

"This action is taken knowing that it takes time to recruit for and fill positions," he said.
