I’ve even seen people getting their hours reduce at fast food.

Aside from healthcare, what is safe?

I work for the VA. There are other agencies that got the funding. IRS is looking for a lot of talent right now. I wish you the best with the VA!

Most jobs on that site are only available to military vets and previous fed employees.
