The resolution urges the Governor of West Virginia and the state's federal representatives to take action to prevent job losses among federal employees in the state, which currently number over 17,000. It highlights the disproportionate impact that federal job cuts would have on West Virginia's small population and struggling economy, particularly in areas like Parkersburg, where recent layoffs have already occurred. The resolution emphasizes the importance of preserving high-paying federal jobs for the economic stability of local communities and the state as a whole, noting that layoffs could lead to increased demand for social services and further economic decline.

The House of Delegates expresses concern that the ongoing job cuts are not genuinely aimed at combating inefficiencies but are instead motivated by a desire to facilitate tax cuts for wealthy individuals. The resolution calls for a concerted effort from state leaders to protect these vital government jobs and ensure the well-being of West Virginians. It concludes with a directive for the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to the Governor and all federally elected representatives from West Virginia.
