The bill signing came jointly with the announcement of a summer virtual hiring event seeking candidates to fill “nearly 1,000 vacancies.”
E. Lindsey Maxwell II, interim director of D.C.’s human resources department, said it’s not unusual for the city to have this many open positions at one time, citing the recent completion of budgets for the upcoming fiscal year. “It’s more of looking at an increase in what we need to get done,” Maxwell said.
Maxwell expects the city to hire for myriad roles across sectors, including bank examiners, security guards and information technology workers. Maxwell said the city has not felt the effects of labor shortages seen in other industries. “We haven’t noticed any decline,” he said about the city’s job retention. “Our job market has remained strong.”
David Connerty-Marin, a spokesman for D.C. Council member Elissa Silverman , who chairs the council’s committee on labor and workforce development, said in an email that there was little deliberation about the extent of raises for nonunion employees since “they are generally modeled after the union-won raises to ensure parity across [the] District workforce.” City officials echoed Connerty-Marin, saying that increases for nonunion workers are intertwined with union-covered-employee raises.
