NASA NAMED ONE OF BEST PLACES TO WORK IN GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON -- NASA remains one of the best places to work in the 
federal government. In a survey released today by the Partnership for 
Public Service, a nonprofit, non-partisan organization, the agency 
retains its ranking of number five. 

"Those of us at NASA know it's a great place to work." said NASA 
Administrator Charles Bolden. "We are the world leader in space 
exploration and cutting-edge science missions, and contribute to the 
economic vitality of our great nation. We reach for new heights and 
challenge our employees to carry out missions to benefit humankind. 
What job could be better than that?" 

The rankings draw on the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's 
Employee Viewpoint Survey of more than 150,000 executive branch 
employees. The evaluation helps job-seekers assess agencies and 
federal managers improve their workplaces. 

NASA this week opened up recruitment for the 2013 class of astronauts, 
who will fly to the International Space Station and visit farther 
destinations such as Mars. As the agency enters a new era of 
exploration and develops new capabilities to explore the solar system 
and beyond, workers with a wide range of skills and interests will be 
critical.
