Governor Maura Healey's administration has announced plans to implement hiring controls within the Massachusetts state government, citing concerns over revenue forecasts. The measures, referred to by some sources as a hiring freeze, are set to last at least through the end of the fiscal year in June. This decision comes after months of sliding revenues, prompting the administration to tighten hiring procedures for state jobs. Despite the terminology used, Healey's office insists the measures are 'hiring controls,' and not a 'freeze.' The administration noted that March revenues have shown a slight rebound.
