Each year the federal government hires thousands new employees. If you are interested in working for the federal government the Summer 2004 issue of the Occupational Outlook Quarterly is the publication for you. This beautiful illustrated official government handbook describes the types of jobs available in the Federal civil service, the qualifications required, and how to apply for those jobs.

The authors examine U.S. Air Force civilian compensation for hard-to-fill and mission critical occupations, comparing it with other federal agencies and the private sector and providing recommendations for recruiting and retaining civilian talent.
