Federal and State Jobs

• While many other employers lay off employees, the federal government—the nation's largest employer—will fill more than 200,000 dynamic, well-paying jobs annually during the coming years.


• The federal hiring wave, which will continue no matter how bad the economy may get, is being generated by record numbers of retiring baby boomers.


• The federal government hires all types of professionals at all levels of their careers—from students to seasoned executives. And federal jobs are based all over the United States and overseas. (Only about 15 percent of federal jobs are based in Washington, D.C.)
