Large numbers of people dislike the government and working for them is strictly not allowed. A large segment of the populace is ignorant of the fact that there are good reasons to consider a job with the government.

Top Reasons to Work for the (State or Federal) Government

1. 
   Job Security – Government workers are overwhelmed with work that is never completed. Even those that attempt to stay on top usually fall behind due to lack of staff or large workloads. For the prospective employee this equals to a secure job position.
2. Cost of Living Increments- In prosperous times, federal employees receive an additional amount to their salaries noted as cost of living. This event happens after congress has agreed on and passed the budget. This pay is not guaranteed and many not happen during a recession.
3. Education Pay – Various state and federal employee programs pay for college classes taken. Different departments may have specific rules, but at least a partial amount of tuition may become paid from an employee program.
4. Low Termination Rate – A ‘myth’ with government employment reflects how difficult it is to get fired. In some situations, this may be true, because as long as you show-up then you keep your job. The unwritten rule is that many state and federal departments are used to complacency (laziness) among their employees.
