The Partnership for Public Service and American University’s
Institute for the Study of Public Policy Implementation have
released rankings for the best places to work in the federal
government according to young people, minorities and women.
The Best Places to Work rankings use data from a government
wide employee satisfaction survey of more than 100,000 federal
employees that was administered by the Office of Personnel
Management.
It said the best places to work for employees under 40 begin
with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
followed by the National Science Foundation, the General
Services Administration, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the
Environmental Protection Agency.
First place for minorities went to NASA as well, followed
by the Social Security Administration, NSA, GSA, and EPA.
For women, NASA again was chosen as the best place to work,
followed by GSA, NSA, the Office of Management and Budget
and EPA.
PPS said the rankings give job seekers as additional
measure of where they might want to work, and that they
serve to help federal agencies understand the needs of
different employees.
The rankings are based on a government wide employee
satisfaction survey of more than 100,000 employees and are
administered by the Office of Personnel Management, and
focused on feedback from federal employees under 40 versus
over 40, minorities versus non-minorities, men versus women,
supervisors versus non-supervisors and headquarter versus
field office employees, said PPS. The rankings can be
accessed at sparklist.com.
