Hiring freezes and efficiency requirements hollowed out a large portion of the public workforce for more than ten years. However, governments are already hiring once more—quietly, deliberately, and purposefully. The recovery is more profound than the epidemic recovery or the remaining stimulus money. Roles that were either halted or eliminated completely under previous budget cuts are being added by public agencies in the administrative, educational, and transportation sectors.…
