Is There A Federal Hiring Freeze Coming?

The biggest component in the budget of any government agency is the cost in payroll and salary of employees. In an effort to save money and prohibit paying taxes is to reduce staff and freeze hiring of new employees. Government agencies are faced with the prospect of having to deliver essential services to the general public but with fewer personnel and resources. It is this dilemma that the federal government now faces. Current legislation is now being proposed to put a limit on federal hiring into effect. The proposed legislation seeks to reduce the total amount of the federal work force by 10 percent by 2015. It also seeks to decrease the amount of contractors working with the federal government. The bill would save an estimated 35 billion dollars from 2012 to 2016.

Government Layoffs May Ease

Employment in the government sector has been severely hit with the recent weak economy. Declining revenues from a shrinking tax base cause by the housing crisis added with high unemployment meant government agencies did not have sufficient resources for programs and services. This was especially true for local and state governments. The largest expense for these organizations in their budgets was payroll. In an effort to make up for financial losses government workers were let go.

Federal Trade Commision Hiring

The Federal Trade Commission is hiring in several occupational areas: Entry Level Attorney Positions The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) places recent graduates in fourteen month positions as law clerks pending admission to a bar. Attorneys must be licensed and authorized to practice under the laws of a state, territory, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Applicants should make employment inquiries by mail to: Human Resources Management Office, Room H-723 Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580

Government Jobs Continue To Decrease

While employment made positive strides in the private sector for November, the public sector continued to see decline in employment levels. Different sectors of federal state and local government continued to see numbers of workers decrease with fewer resources and services.

Government Job Losses are Mostly at the Community Level

Among the job losses we’ve been seeing over the past few years, government jobs seem to be taking one of the hardest hits—though not where they should be, perhaps. Rather than cutting politician pay, aides, and other red tape jobs, it’s the ones in our communities that seem to be cut the most. Take South Carolina, for example. The state has lost nearly 15,000 education jobs within the past year, but most were in the education sector. Perhaps if more cuts were made on wasteful spending and politician expenditures, we could lower the slowly dropping unemployment rates much more quickly—and prevent many jobs from being cut in the first place.
