How Worried Should You Be in Recieving Your Secuirty Clearance
Many government and private employers require that their employees hold and keep a secret or top-secret security clearance issued by the federal government for their jobs. Of course, all military service members are also required to hold and retain, at a minimum, a secret security clearance and, oftentimes, a top-secret security clearance. There are areas of the country, notably Washington, D.C., Chicago, California and Huntsville, Alabama, where the lack of a security clearance can pose a real and substantial hardship on someone trying to get a good paying job.
