The budget cuts known as sequestration were supposed to wreak havoc, forcing the shrinking of critical workforces including airport security officers and food inspectors.
But since sequestration kicked in March 4, the government has posted openings for 4,300 federal job titles to hire some 10,300 people.
The median position has a salary topping out at $76,000, and one-fourth of positions pay $113,000 or more, according to an analysis by The Washington Times of federal job listings.
Altogether, the jobs will pay up to $792 million per year. Including job postings that have been open since before sequestration, the government is in the market for 27,000 employees who will make up to $1.8 billion a year.
The jobs posted since sequestration include 10,195 positions at the Department of Agriculture, 2,800 at the Department of Veterans Affairs and 1,611 the Department of Health and Human Services.

I’ve counseled a number of young folks to head for DC.
That’s where the gravy is and will continue to be.
Try and apply....you will get an e-mail after the closing date saying that the position is not being filled. I tried it myself the last time the hysteria crew had such an article. They are NOT hiring....go to USAJOBS and try and apply....do it. The reason for the continued announcements is because they do not know when the hiring freeze will be lifted. I don’t blame the agencies for being on top of things.
And no flyover for the Annapolis grads this year. The Obamas should stop taking vacations!
To become part of the regime? Any conservative who works for this government is living a lie. Sad but true.
bttt
You must not have seen the fine print -
“whites/Christians need not apply”
These people aren’t conservatives, they’re lawyers LOL.
I told them to become IRS Obamacare administrators.
That’s guaranteed life employment.
The facts bear out what you're saying::
Reality is what we get when we look for a job, although hysteria does win more political arguments...
The restaurant scene in DC and surrounding suburbs has been white hot for years. The permanent bureaucracy wants only the best!! The best dining off our tax dollars!!
Of course DC denizens laugh at the “provinces” and our concern over illegal immigration. They are too busy living it up. To the max!!
Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!
Yes when I visited DC last spring, I observed a robust population of guys in 1000 dollar suits and women with 400 dollar shoes, dresses, and handbags.
Or as my Dad (RIP) used to say:
“nothing’s too good for the taxpayers”
