Quick follow-up on the previous post. Simon Lester at the Int'l Law & Economic Policy Blog points to an interesting recent survey of the "best" and "worst" government agencies to work for. Of the small agencies, USTR had the lowest job satisifaction score. From the original Washington Post article:
"The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative ranks as the worst small agency, at
32.7 percent. Former employees said its sense of mission was eroded by an
ambivalent attitude toward free trade early in the Obama administration and
during the economic crisis. Views of the agency’s leaders plummeted
18.9 percentage points over 2011." (emphasis added)
