I need some serious advice from an attorney, can I sue?

Question

I was hired by a state, given a salary, a start date, hour sched. I gave my two week notice to my current employer. Then two days before I was going to start my new job, they told me that I was not hired due to a " hiring freeze " Every state employee that I talk to say I should sue the state for reneging on me. What is some good advice lawyers out there.

Answer 1

.    the state is protected from lawsuits

Answer 2

Did you sign a contract to work for a certain length of time? No? Then too bad unfortunately, they can offer and withdraw at any time.

Answer 3

forget them and move on hunting a job ?  you got no time to sue ?
