| Summary |
"The Federal Government hires a significant number of entry-level new hires in professional and administrative occupations every year. Because of the large number of impending retirements and the concurrent necessity to build career pipelines for these positions, the Federal Government is likely to increase its entry-level hiring at least through fiscal year 2010. Critics argue that the Government may not be up to this task. They say the Government has become less attractive to younger workers and that the length and complexity of the hiring process hampers applicant interest in Federal jobs. The overall results of this study show that while some of the criticisms hold true, the Government is actually better at attracting new hires than some might think."--P. i. |
