WASHINGTON - Need a job? Have a background in security, health and medicine or the sciences? If the answer is yes, the federal government wants you. Desperately.
Uncle Sam will need to fill more than 37,500 security and law enforcement-related jobs in the next two years, according to a first-of-its-kind survey on the employment needs of the 15 largest departments and nine independent agencies that represent 95 percent of the federal work force.
Those jobs range from criminal investigators and police officers to security and prison guards and airport screeners, according to the study by the Partnership for Public Service and the National Academy of Public Administration. It was released Wednesday.
