[QUOTE="Frunobulax, post: 659666, member: 27202"] Apropos government inefficiency, my own interest in seeking Federal employment, beyond the core purpose of earning a living, was driven by the dreadful failures of the financial regulatory agencies over the last decade in assessing systemic market risk. Federal hiring and promotion, conservative and rulebound, and whether related to bargaining unit employees or not, bears some relationship to advancement within a union-regulated workplace. Seniority is paramount. Preferences exist for vets. (as they should); but also for the disabled, for displaced federal employees, and for employees of other federal agencies. Difficult nut to crack from the outside, particularly given the panic of the last two years. One job I put in for (and was IMHO supremely qualified for) had 3000 applications for one position. Didn't even get interviewed on that one. (Salary range on these positions was between $90k and $145K.) I am currently in the running to manage local 2010 census in my area. That job pays approximately UPS PC driver scale (without OT or ... dare I bring it up? ... Bonus). Tough economy. [/QUOTE]
