At Least One Place Is Hiring


While I am not a huge fan of big government, it's nice to know at least one place has jobs for people who are looking. The pool of employers looking for recruits and work for those who hang on to their jobs is dwindling, but Uncle Sam has been on a hiring binge. Reports peg the number of open positions in the FBI alone at 3,000. That's a huge number by any count, but there are currently approximately 30,000 employees in the agency right now, so this represents approximately a 10% increase over its current level. The positions on FBIJobs.gov range from linguists, special agents and mechanics.
