Part of the problem is it’s often unclear exactly what those core missions are, said Paul C. Light, a professor at New York University who has studied government organization extensively. “When you say mission critical, it’s a phrase without meaning,” he said. “Everything’s mission critical. Therefore, we have no way of knowing what would be mission critical in a job description versus what is not.” He said agencies become “very artful” in writing job descriptions to justify why they are hiring. At the Homeland Security Department, which just days ago announced it was releasing some low-priority illegal immigrants from jails to await removal, the agency in charge of deportations advertised for an assistant to help with deportations. The annual salary for the job is $60,765, enough to detain one immigrant for about 500 days.I wonder if there are jobs available for people who can just sit around and make sure the sequestered funds don't get spent? You would need some sort of financial degree for that, right? Or at least two eyes? If you're unemployed and you want something fairly low-pressure, you might want to look into that one.
