Our Mission
Public Debt's mission is to borrow money needed to operate the federal government and to account for the resulting public debt. Our function is to conduct Treasury's debt finance and accounting operations through the sale of U.S. savings bonds and Treasury notes, bonds, and bills. Currently, Public Debt employs nearly 2,000 individuals in a variety of occupational fields related to computers, management, finance, accounting and marketing. The majority of employees are located in our office in Parkersburg, WV. We also have offices located in Washington, D.C.
The Program
The federal government has a special employment program for individuals with disabilities. Through this special program, Public Debt will accept applications from qualified disabled individuals for any job vacancy announced with the Area of Consideration listed as "All Status."

Candidates who are interested in learning about current Public Debt job opportunities have several options:
