NWS Meteorologist and NOAA Hurricane Hunters highlighted as "Coolest Federal Jobs"
(September 3, 2013) NWSEO is partnering with the Federal Postal Coalition to communicate the important role of federal employees. NWS meteorologists and Hurricane Hunters were highlighted in this Labor Day edition of BuzzFeed as part of the effort. Only 11 careers were highlighted in all - Hurricane Hunters topped the list (Pictures and more).
NWSEO recognizes the life-saving work of our members this Labor Day.
(August 30, 2013) We thought you might appreciate the following statement from Bruce Moyer, Chair of the Federal-Postal Coalition:
“Each Labor Day, we reflect on the hardworking women and men who serve in America’s federal workforce to uphold the health, safety and security of our country.
“One misconception America’s federal workers face every year is the myth that our federal workforce is bloated. The harsh reality is that the size of our federal workforce has barely changed since President Kennedy sat in the Oval Office. At the same time, America’s labor force in restaurants, hospitals, construction sites, and universities has continually climbed to match the needs of our growing population.
“This year we've heard critics call for the government to "trim the fat." But as we saw time and time again with federal meat inspectors, meteorologists, air traffic controllers and civilian military officials who faced furloughs in 2013, these and other agencies are integral to keeping our country safe and secure.
“The federal workforce performs amazing feats at a 50-year-old staffing level. For their ongoing talent and dedication, we applaud America’s federal and postal workers this Labor Day.”
