Equal Opportunity?

Opening the door...our privately-held "Federal" Reserve is opening up their hiring requirements for Equal Opportunity...from Monday's Federal Register...

To address the diminishing number of available graduates with Ph.Ds
in economics and other needed skills who are U.S. citizens, the Board
proposes to revise its policy regarding hiring for positions that
require access to sensitive information. This will allow the Board to
hire qualified non-citizens in certain positions of importance to the
Board's duties and for which a growing proportion of qualified
candidates in the applicant pool are non-citizens.

Currently, the Board does not hire individuals who are non-citizens into positions that require access to certain types of sensitive information unless the non-citizen intends to obtain and does, in fact, seek U.S. citizenship. The Board proposes to amend its rule to allow it to hire non-citizens without intention of becoming U.S. citizens into positions that require access to sensitive FOMC information in certain circumstances.
Comments on the proposed rule change are being requested...Rules Regarding Equal Opportunity
