A gatsby site + express api for browsing NYC government job listings.

Why?

https://a127-jobs.nyc.gov/ is difficult to use.

NYC Civic Jobs provides simple lists of jobs by agency and category, plus links to the offical listings.

Help Wanted

I am not very good at design & layout, and need some help from a UX/Content designer. Hit me up on Twitter if you'd like to help!

Data

Data comes from the NYC Open Data Portal and are loaded into mongodb using load-data.js. Ensure MONGO_URI exists in your .env file, then run npm load-data.js.
