The Partnership for Public Service and the American
University Institute for the Study of Public Policy
Implementation (ISPPI) released today the second set of
rankings of the “Best Places to Work in the Federal
Government.” Young people, women and minorities selected
NASA as the best place to work in the federal government.

The rankings were compiled from an employee satisfaction
survey administered to more than 100,000 federal employees
by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. With the new
rankings, job seekers will be able to see, for the first
time, which federal agencies are rated best by employees
under 40, minorities, women and a variety of other groups.

“We’re very proud and excited to learn of the rankings. NASA
values the diversity of thought, ideas and perspectives so
essential to an R&D organization. We strongly believe an
inclusive One-NASA environment, in which all employees are
treated fairly, respected by management and their peers, and
valued for their contribution to the agency’s mission, is
critical to success,” said Vicki Novak, NASA’s Associate
Administrator, Office of Human Resources.
