The Interior Department Is Planning To Hire 600 Young People

They'll work in national parks, wildlife reserves and other public lands. They're funded by $4 million in grants. Interior wants to cooperate with state government and private companies to extend the program. Interior officials hope to hire 17,000 people as part of an Obama administration plan to create a 21st century Conservation Services Corps. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell says the program will help the young workers obtain job skills while connecting with the great outdoors. Interior's announcement came a day before cancellation of Park Service furloughs.

Just goes to show you the feds can do something if they want to end sequestration. They're just trying to make the republicans look bad but it will backfire on the dems come next election.
