The CIA is hiring one very expensive librarian

The listed range for the income is $50,864 to $118,069 a year! That salary is pretty darn competitive with a ‘reconnaissance‘ type of job. But while the unemployment rate in the U.S. is currently hovering around 4.9%, the government says it is still having difficulties finding skilled workers.
