Throughout five open government teams, we have regularly engaged stakeholders from throughout the agency, our union, other agencies, good government groups, and academia on the OPM data that interest them the most. In choosing USAJOBS and the federal government operating status as the first candidates to make compliant with new open data, content, and web API policy, we drew on our many conversations with those stakeholders. We also looked at social media to see what the public is most interested in knowing more about; federal jobs and the operating status consistently draw attention.

USAJOBS launched an iOS (iPhone and iPad) application several months ago. However, nothing currently exists for users of Android phones or tablets; our goal is to provide equal access to users of both major mobile platforms. As technologies evolve, we may need to add other platforms. for the USAJOBS application to be device agnostic so it is available for all users. More than 5,000 people have downloaded the iOS application, and many have asked for an Android app through the USAJOBS Facebook page. Likewise, our stakeholders often provide feedback regarding how great it would be to have an application (again for any device, anywhere) to quickly find out about the operating status of the federal government.
