Federal Employee Information Partnership
How Federal Work Has Changed Twenty-five years ago, as the century turned, the federal workforce stood on what felt like bedrock. In those days, a career in public service was more than just a job; it was a promise of permanence, a “rock-solid” commitment that allowed young families to plan for the long term with

The federal government is barreling toward another catastrophic midnight deadline, and the political gears in Washington have ground to a bone-crushing halt.
