The federal government is the nation’s largest employer, a huge enterprise with more than 1.6 million full-time, permanent civilian workers.  Many Americans who apply for a job in the federal government do not stop to think that they are applying for a position authorized and established by the grand daddy of all documents: the U.S. Constitution.  If you’re thinking about working for Uncle Sam, I would strongly recommend learning more about the federal government and what it means to be a public servant for American taxpayers on the following web sites:


For many job seekers healthcare benefits are a major concern.  Today, as many companies and organizations are cutting back on healthcare benefits and requiring their employees to pay higher medical premiums, the federal government offers a comprehensive “federal Employees Health Benefits Program” (began operation in July 1960) that not only includes health benefits, but also includes dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, life insurance and long term care insurance.  This program is the nation’s largest employer-sponsored health insurance program, covering more than 8 million federal employees and retirees, including the family members, and it affords a newly appointed federal employee the option to pick from several plan choices to fit their personal health situation.  For more information, see below links:
