The Internal Revenue Service today announced the availability of a new job search tool on YouTube dedicated to helping job seekers learn about employment opportunities at the IRS. "Whether you're a veteran or a recent college graduate, the IRS is a great place to work and build a career. The IRS has a wide range of jobs and needs a variety of skills to serve the nation's taxpayers,? said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. ?Our goal is to make the IRS the best place to work in government." As many recent high school and college graduates actively seek employment, the IRS?s new YouTube playlist, Working at the IRS, provides information about various career paths available throughout the nation?s tax administration agency. The playlist features ?Day in the Life? videos in which IRS employees discuss their jobs, the diversity of the IRS workforce and the culture of the agency. ?This is a great opportunity for new graduates and applicants to explore employment with the IRS and join a dedicated workforce serving our nation?s taxpayers,? IRS Chief Human Capital Officer James Falcone said. ?Potential applicants can learn a lot from a job description. But showcasing our talented employees on YouTube gives applicants first-hand insight into whether or not they would be a good fit for a particular position.? The IRS has more than 100,000 full-time and seasonal employees and hires new employees throughout the year to fill a wide array of positions, including revenue agents, revenue officers, criminal investigation special agents, financial analysts and economists. The YouTube playlist complements numerous other videos currently available on the IRS YouTube channel (IRSvideos). IRS videos provide tax tips for individuals and businesses and information about new credits, deductions and changes in tax law, including tax provisions pertaining to Recovery and health care. The IRS has also posted videos in American Sign Language (IRSvideosASL) and Spanish (IRSvideosmultilingual). New IRS Careers Website In addition to the new YouTube playlist, the IRS Human Capital Office recently launched a new and improved IRS Careers Website with more detailed information on job openings, how to apply for new positions, what qualifications are needed in potential candidates and information on the benefits of working at the IRS. The site features a direct link to the IRS on USAJobs.com, the main source for federal employment opportunities, allowing candidates to focus their job search.

Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, today announced that the agency is submitting legislation to Congress that would prohibit states, without the Commissioner?s prior authorization, from reducing the number of state personnel who make disability determinations for Social Security or the hours they work below the amount the agency authorizes. ?It is long past time that states end these unconscionable furloughs and hiring freezes that needlessly harm citizens with disabilities,? Commissioner Astrue said. ?States realize no fiscal savings whatsoever from these actions and this legislation would prevent needless delays in the disability determination process. I am grateful for the President?s support and urge Congress to move quickly to help us make this provision the law of the land.? More than a dozen states have implemented furloughs and hiring freezes that affect the federally paid state workers who make disability determinations for Social Security. The state agencies that employ these workers in their disability determination service (DDS) components receive 100 percent of their funding from the Federal government. Accordingly, states do not save any money by imposing furloughs and hiring freezes on federally funded employees. Rather, they slow benefits to some of the most vulnerable citizens ? for example, furloughs in California in fiscal year 2010 delayed payment of over $11 million in benefits to more than 40,000 citizens with disabilities. State-imposed furloughs and hiring freezes also reduce state income tax revenue and increase unemployment in the state. ?The members of Local 1000 have always believed that furloughing federally funded positions doesn?t make economic sense and that has been proven in California during these past 18 months that Governor Schwarzenegger has imposed furloughs on state employees,? Yvonne Walker, President of Service Employees International Union Local 1000 said. ?I applaud Social Security for initiating legislation that would prevent further bad economic policy from going forward. This provision will not only help DDS workers, but the claimants who rely on the services our members provide.? ?We commend the Commissioner for his forceful and dedicated leadership in taking this bold action,? said Susan X. Smith, President of the National Association of Disability Examiners (NADE). ?Our members are witness to the impact the current economic recession has had for disabled citizens and we are working hard to meet the dramatic increase in claims for benefits. These furloughs further compound the problems faced by disabled citizens by creating unnecessary delays in the processing of their claims. NADE urges quick action with regards to this legislative proposal.? # # # SSA Press Office 440 Altmeyer Building 6401 Security Blvd. Baltimore, MD 21235 410-965-8904 FAX 410-966-9973 Privacy Policy | Website Policies & Other Important Information | Site MapNeed Larger Text?
