Government Expansion
The federal sector is growing at its fastest pace in decades. Over the past
two years total federal civil service employment has increased 10%, an
additional 182,629 workers. Jobs are available nationwide and overseas and
additional growth is projected due to recent legislation.
The new health care legislation calls for the formation of 150 new regulatory
agencies and commissions and many more federal regulators are needed to manage
failed banks and the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds.
The federal government now owns 60% of General Motors, all of Fanny Mae and
Freddie Mac plus they took over 100% of the student loan program recently! There
are many more jobs projected and those who start the process early will have a
better chance of success.

of corporate tax departments and/or their representatives.

Revenue agents specialize in tax-related accounting work for the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and for equivalent agencies in State and local
governments. Like tax examiners, they audit returns for accuracy. However,
revenue agents handle complicated income, sales, and excise tax returns of
businesses and large corporations. As a result, their work differs in a number
of ways from that of tax examiners.
Revenue
agents with the IRS must have either a bachelor's degree or 30 semester hours of
accounting coursework along with specialized experience. Specialized experience
includes full-time work in accounting, bookkeeping, or tax analysis.
In March of 2010 the new health care legislation was signed and as a result
the IRS must hire an additional 17,000 IRS agents to enforce the new health care
legislation. In 2008, tax examiners, revenue agents, and collectors held about
72,700 jobs. About 98 percent worked for government. About 2 percent were self
employed. In the IRS, tax examiners and revenue agents predominate because of
the role of the agency. Collectors make up a smaller proportion, because most
disputed tax liabilities do not require enforced collection.
