By: FEDweek StaffThe Social Security Administration displaced the Department of Homeland Security as the lowest-rated large agency in the recently released full rankings of the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government.
The Partnership for Public Service previously had released the top-10 rankings in each of its categories, with NASA topping the large agency category for the 11th year in a row. Of the seven departments and agencies of that size not on that list, the SSA and DHS were followed in ascending order by Justice, State, Navy, Agriculture and Army.
The SSA’s score fell by 6 points to 53.9, the largest change for the positive or negative in that category.
Among the 17 midsized agencies not in the earlier rankings, the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency scored the lowest. In ascending order, the next six were NLRB, U.S. Agency for Global Media, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, U.S. Agency for International Development, and National Archives and Records Administration.
For small agencies, the lowest-rated of the 30 was the Export-Import Bank, dropping by 21 points to 55. The next six above it, in ascending order, were the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, International Boundary and Water Commission, National Gallery of Art, Federal Election Commission and Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
Among the 432 agency subcomponents ranked, the Bureau of Prisons was the lowest-rated, with the next six in ascending order being the SSA inspector general’s office, the DHS office of countering weapons of mass destruction, Agriculture’s trade and foreign agricultural affairs office, the DoD Defense Technical Information Center, TSA within DHS, and the office of the chief operating officer in the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
