Why PenPublic? ​

The Problem ​

Most Americans don't realize public sector jobs often pay better than private sector when you factor in pensions, work/life balance, and job security. These opportunities are scattered across hundreds of websites and poorly explained to workers who could benefit from making the switch.

Our Solution ​

PenPublic is a privacy-first, downloadable progressive web app that helps working Americans and students discover if they'd be financially better off in public sector careers. Our offline-capable platform aggregates government jobs from hundreds of websites nationwide—data that no other platform comprehensively provides—and includes calculators showing total lifetime compensation: salary plus pension value plus benefits. Users can compare their current private sector trajectory against public sector alternatives and see the real financial impact of career changes. All user data stays on their device; we never collect, store, or share personal information.

Our Data Advantage ​

We've built proprietary systems that collect and standardize job data from hundreds of government websites weekly, providing coverage and specialized filters that other job sites simply can't match. This infrastructure powers monthly employment reports comparing public vs private sector hiring trends—positioning us as the authoritative source for government employment data.

Who Benefits ​

Any American who wants stable work and financial security—from recent graduates to mid-career professionals exploring better options. Our platform attracts high-intent users researching major life decisions, exactly who financial advisors, policy researchers, and media organizations want to reach.

The Opportunity ​

We're building the essential infrastructure where Americans discover that government work offers the best path to middle-class stability. As the definitive source for public sector employment data and trends, we become indispensable to users seeking security and to organizations needing authoritative employment insights.
