State employees in West Virginia will have additional time to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families this year. Governor Jim Justice announced adjustments to the holiday schedule, providing state workers with a half-day on Wednesday and a full day off on Friday, giving them an extended long weekend. This decision mirrors similar actions taken in previous years, recognizing the dedication and hard work of state employees. By allowing extra time off, the state aims to show appreciation for its workforce and provide them with more opportunities to enjoy the holiday season. Governor Justice also encouraged residents across West Virginia to embrace the spirit of Thanksgiving by reflecting on their blessings and extending kindness to others. The holiday is a time for family, connection, and reaching out to those in need. Acts of generosity, whether big or small, can make the season brighter for everyone.
