IRS auditor

I did income tax filing for ten years at the senior center. While these were mostly simple cases many involved single moms which meant understanding the earned income tax credit (EITC) and the child tax credit. It required three full days of training each years to update us on the changes in the law. I bring this up at this time because the government is going to hire 87,000 new IRS agents. The requirements for this job is a BA degree with at least 30 semester hours in accounting. In the tight labor market we are now experiencing it will be difficult to find this many prospects. The average starting salary is $75,000 and most accountants working in private industry are making more than that. Will they take a lower paying job to work for the government?
