Government Jobs Brasilia, my city , is not a industrial city. Its founders built it specifically to headquarter the federal government institutions. Here the best job opportunities are in the government, followed by the retail sector. In order to become a public servant one must pass an public exam and meet all the requirements. The exams are generally difficult and they are very disputed. Thousands of people fight for a post. Why? It is quite simple: firstly, public servants earn much more than private firm employees. Secondly, overall, they cannot be dismissed. Government jobs provide financial stability.
