The federal government—the nation's largest employer—is seeking 50-plus workers to solve a potential brain drain.
For the first time, three U.S. agencies have joined AARP's National Employer Team of 37 employers interested in older workers (www.aarp.org/employerteam). The Internal Revenue Service, the Peace Corps and the Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Assistance have full- and part-time slots to fill, both inside and outside Washington.
Within five years, some 33 percent of the federal workforce will be eligible for retirement, said Max Stier, president of the Washington-based Partnership for Public Service.
"There's an opportunity in the federal government, from astronomer to zoologist, and everybody in between," he says.
