AMERICANS SHOW RENEWED INTEREST IN FEDERAL SERVICE
Job Security and Benefits Drive Appeal
The number of Americans who view working for the federal government as a desirable career option is growing substantially, according to new nationwide Gallup data obtained by the Partnership for Public Service.
The online Gallup public opinion survey found that 40 percent of American workers are open to considering federal careers, up from only 24 percent in 2006. Moreover, 66 percent said they would consider applying for a federal job if they were seeking employment in the next two years.
The new interest comes at the start of a four-year cycle in which the government will hire nearly 600,000 workers due to retirements, normal attrition, the economic stimulus package and other new spending, according to estimates by the Partnership.
