I don't just mean the admin jobs though. There's some field jobs, especially in water (drinking and waste, which I followed) and food (inspecting restaurants I avoided.) Health departments, for example, are in need of staff across the country, especially after the 2023 culling of covid funding. Public service is retiring fast.

Agreed, I think I sorta group those types of jobs as admin in my head which is inaccurate. Like working in a health department seems administrative, but clearly there’s field work there.

Public service can be hard to break into as well. It often takes months to years to land a local government job.

Definitely can be, though I walked into a rural health department who had paper applications. They didn't use online applications as a screening method. Got the job that month. They were also a weird teamsters union department, and probably wouldn't have hired me if I weren't white. So the mileage definitely varies.

(And yeah I processed paperwork 80% of my time there.)
