Instead of criticizing working for the ultimate Man, Uncle Sam, more people are drawn to the secure nature of working for the federal government. According to a new report from the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, the federal government will have hired 273,000 new workers by Fall of 2012 for jobs the group calls "mission critical" — that's a 41 percent hiring increase over the three previous fiscal years.

Where to Look For Stimulus Driven Jobs

The impact on employment will take some time because the exact allocation of these funds still needs to be determined, and the millions of jobs the plan is said to create will be spread over a couple of years.
