900 new employees for the US patent office
I'm not a fan of all the bogus patents which have been being filed. Today Marketplace is reporting that Congress has given the USPTO some headcount to help with the workload. Some argue that the workload is the reason for the bad patents being granted. So maybe this will help. There's just as much to the argument that it's the applicants who are the problem, so more people may just end up meaning more bad patents. We'll see.

USPTO job bank. Minimum requirement is a Bachelor's degree. Probably don't pay enough for someone with a higher degree or more experience. Maybe I should forward this to some of my friends without jobs.
