Maybe I'm missing something, but is there any way to sort or filter this data?

This is really awesome. The UI/UX feels a little unapproachable and the feature set seems lacking (what do I do when I get to that page) , but I'm sure it's infinitely better than the alternative.

One small thing that's nice is the column summaries: http://cl.ly/image/2D1S2h0o0B09.

soon, but not yet... this just went live last night :)

clarification edit: this is the end result of a new feature that allows enigma users to publicly share a frozen table state (up to 10 pages), which takes into place the current filter/sort state

Um....

I know it's probably your core business and all, but from a civic standpoint, would you mind posting the raw data so we can play with it?

EDIT:

Thanks folks!

Totally agreed. There is an application for access for civic projects: http://dev.enigma.io/

Even with a ~40K standard dev I'd say that's a well paid lot.

wow a librarian at a GS14 level:

[name removed] DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE LIBRARIAN Maryland Prince George's County BELTSVILLE GS 14 119238

I know the GS schedule is based on how long you work as opposed to how well you work, but i didn't think that non-STEM or non-Management roles made above GS11 or 12.

Great UI, love it. Didn't realize how many cushy jobs the government has...damn. Now I know why my parents kept telling me to look in the public sector first and foremost.
