Civil Service Jobs

Many people consider government jobs among the most secure. While it is true that government employees are usually protected from being fired without good cause, especially those who work in union shops, layoffs due to downsizing can affect government employees in the same way they affect the rest of us. Government benefits are generally very good, another quality that makes these jobs desirable, and often those benefits continue after retirement. Want to work for the government?
