Between January 1 and
June 30, state government
hiring usually reaches its
peak. This is due in part to

emergency employees for
the summer months.
During the past twelve

Service Commission’s
division of forecasting and
planning has produced more
than thirty studies, reports,
and profiles to improve
manpower planning through
the use of statistical data.
