Working for the Government
05/28/2015
The federal government is one employer that's interested in keeping boomers active and engaged. Chris Farrell writes for Next Avenue that there are at least two government agencies that actually reserve jobs for people who are 55 or older. These special programs are called the "Senior Environmental Employment Program" (Environmental Protection Agency) and the "Agriculture Conservation Experienced Services Program (Department of Agriculture). Full- and part-time positions are available.
In his article, Farrell indicates how to apply for these opportunities through organizations that have cooperative agreements with these agencies. He lists other positions appropriate for seniors as well. If you have an interest in working for the federal government, this article is a must-read.
