If you'd like to build things like this Dashboard, and help fix the services Americans depend on, we are hiring. We have an amazing core already, and are growing fast. Read more about the U.S. Digital Service and apply at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/usds Our pitch is pretty simple: Fix Stuff That Matters.

Here it is as a clickable link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/usds I'm curious: where is that work, geographically?

There's a similar service in place for Gov.UK: https://www.gov.uk/performance/site-activity Nice to see IE gets updated a lot quicker in the US than it does in the UK (though there aren't browser usage statistics available for Gov.UK sites I don't think...)!

Many positions are DC-based (at least some part of every month), but several of our digital service teams (including the largest and most mature Digital Service team at GSA called 18F https://18f.gsa.gov ) have remote offices and allow remote work. You can indicate your geographic limitations on the application.

28.3% on IE, 41% on Windows 7. Wow. It's odd, being in the tech bubble, you forget how many people there are that really don't think about their technology (or work somewhere for whom the most important things are cost and stability). It would be interesting to take a poll of what people think the numbers would be like before they saw them. I would have guessed a lot more Chrome/FF.

IE8 is just 3%, great news. On par with what we see. Most people whinge about IE8 support, yet their mobile experience is awful. 25% of these hits are mobile, we see close to 40-50% for us, with much higher for hospitality clients (bars, restaurants), though they usually get <3k sessions a month.
