Effective immediately, 92% of all state government jobs no longer require a four-year college degree. This impacts about 65,000 positions.
Shapiro also ordered a review of the remaining of state government jobs that currently require a four-year degree.
As part of the order, his administration launched a new website where applicants can easily search among the thousands of open positions that don't require a four-year degree.
Shapiro's executive order emphasizes skill and experience in lieu of a college degree.
