The United States government is the largest employer in the U.S., a fact that is frequently overlooked by those seeking work in the legal field. According to Michael Orenstein of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the federal government employs about 1.8 million people. This number does not include employees with the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agencies, Unites States Postal Service, and several other large federal agencies.
While some federal positions may not pay salaries as high as those in the private sector, a long list of benefits can compensate.

Tax Benefits on Education Expenses![](<? echo $imagepath ?>blanker.gif)
When you are paying for law school, it is sometimes difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Law school can be insanely expensive. However, did you know that some of your higher education expenses may help you reduce your federal income tax? The Internal Revenue Service allows tax savings for individuals and families who pay higher education costs. The benefits vary depending on your eligibility, but both deductions, which reduce the amount of income subject to tax before the tax is calculated, and tax credits, which reduce the amount of income tax dollar-for-dollar after the tax is calculated, are offered by the IRS.
