Countdown to shutdown:
6 reasons millennials choose to stay in federal service
A Federal News Radio survey found the majority of federal employees under the age of 35 indicated an interest in staying in federal service. Many millennials said...
Pay and retirement benefits
“With 12 years of service, I am close to earning the leave benefits that come with 15 years and the retirement benefits that come with 20 years [or more]. I don’t believe I could match or exceed those benefits in the private sector. In addition, the work I do is very government specific. My skills could translate to jobs in the private sector, but my role would be diminished and not as mission-centric. I don’t foresee myself leaving the federal government anytime soon.”
