Summertime and The Savings Are Easy

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 11, 2019 Among congressional staffers, online-focused jobs are at an all-time high. As of February, the House and Senate employ a combined 128 staffers whose official job titles include the word "digital," "new media," "online," "web," "cyber" or "social media." That's an increase of 58 percent in just two years, when titles with those words accounted for 81 jobs. Numbers come from a LegiStorm breakdown of the most recent public salary disclosures. They do not include administrative offices such as the Senate Office of the Sergeant at Arms. "Digital" titles, such as digital communications director and digital media adviser, make up the bulk of those jobs. "Digital" titles first appeared in salary records in 2011 and have grown in popularity ever since. Meanwhile, "new media" jobs have dropped from an all-time high of 48 titles in February 2012 to only 3 this year. "Online" and "web" titles have also fallen out of favor in recent years.
