I am part of a national association that has been developing great supplemental plans for federal employees for 35 years.

For example we have a great Dental alternative for federal employees and state employees generally have really good dental.

I just hired a new employee three months ago. Because of licensing requirements etc. today was the first day that she could legally turn up for work. Sigh

I purposely picked the federal employee sector 10 years ago because I thought it would be the most recession resistant and over the long hall I believe that is still true.
