Homeland Security Dead Last in Job Satisfaction Survey

But the results of the federal government's own survey of employee morale paints a different
picture.

Of the 36 agencies surveyed, Homeland Security employees rated theirs as last: 36th in job
satisfaction, 35th on leadership and 36th on results-oriented performance.

"Dysfunction equals danger," said Clark Kent Ervin, the former inspector general of the
Homeland Security Department, who says the results of the survey are one more sign of serious
trouble for the agency in charge of protecting America.
