What sequester? Federal jobs website lists thousands of
openings
Breitbart – Ben Shapiro – 3/23/2013
For all the talk about the
dramatic spending cuts to hit the federal government under the bipartisan
sequestration, the federal government isn’t exactly tightening its belt.
According to USAJobs.gov,
the job posting site for the feds, approximately 2,200 jobs listings became
available during one week in March. As Eileen Ambrose reports, “Add in new
postings open only to current or former federal workers, including those laid
off, and the number of new openings jumps to more than 4,600.”
Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK)
has issued a list of jobs included at USAJobs.gov that he says demonstrate the
feds’ continued wastefulness.
Meanwhile, President Obama
and the media continue to proclaim that air traffic controllers will be cut, the
postal service will have to cut days, and border security will be furloughed.
Much of the pressure from the sequester springs from the fact that federal
employees are increasingly unionized, meaning that the government has little
flexibility in terms of pay and benefits. President Obama has inflated
the size of the federal workforce overall, even as state workforces have
declined.
