Currently 34% of the federal workforce (919,683 workers) are now eligible for
retirement and within the next year 50% of the total workforce (1,352,475
workers) will be eligible for regular or early retirement. The biggest change in
the federal sector in over 50 years is the establishment of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) which consolidated the functions of 21 agencies to
better protect America and to fight terrorism. This book is based
on the author's 35 years of government experience. Damp retired from the Federal
Aviation Administration in 2004. "The Book of U.S. Government Jobs" provides an
insider's first-hand view of what it takes to go from job hunter to hired

where he was responsible for recruiting, rating, interviewing, assessing, and
hiring applicants.
