The City of Philadelphia government is one of the largest employers in the region, with approximately 30,000 public servants working across more than 1,000 different job categories. From engineers maintaining our water infrastructure to social workers supporting vulnerable families, our employees are united by a shared commitment to serving the people of Philadelphia - the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection. We believe that effective government starts with valuing our workforce, which is why we offer comprehensive benefits including 13 paid holidays, 10 vacation days, 15 sick days, and 8 weeks of paid parental leave.
As the birthplace of American Democracy, founded in 1682, Philadelphia's government combines historic significance with modern innovation. Our teams work collaboratively across departments - from the Mayor's Office to the Department of Revenue, from public health to public safety - to deliver essential services that residents rely on every day. We're committed to transparency, accessibility, and responsiveness in government, using technology to improve how Philadelphians interact with their city. Whether through the Philadelphia Tax Center, 311 services, or neighborhood action centers, we strive to make government work better for everyone.
