The Justice Department ended a three-year hiring freeze, which led to 4,000 positions being unfilled, said the agency in a news release Monday night (http://1.usa.gov/1gqtw8O). It said “critical vacancies” will be filled “after years of uncertainty,” because Congress recently passed and President Barack Obama signed into law a budget deal restoring the department’s funding to pre-sequestration levels plus extra money “for key priorities."
