Nashville Government Jobs
There are plenty of options for those considering Nashville government jobs.
The Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin area's government industry employed 104,700 workers during December 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is up from 104,600 workers during November and a .1 percent increase from December 2008.
The City of Nashville became tied with Davidson County during the 1960s in an attempt to avoid urban sprawl by dubbing itself the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. The government system offers many services, including police, fire, electricity, water and sewage treatment.
According to Wikipedia, the area's government is split into two districts: the "urban services district," which governs the boundaries of the former City of Nashville as they were set in 1963, and the "general services district," which includes the remainder of Davidson County.
There are seven smaller municipalities within the city and county government. Those municipalities use a two-tier system of government, with the smaller municipalities responsible for providing police services and the metro government responsible for providing other services.
Nashville itself is governed by a mayor, vice-mayor and Metropolitan County Council, which is made up of 40 members. Karl Dean currently serves as the city's mayor, while Diane Neighbors serves as the vice-mayor and president of the council.
The council serves as the legislative body of government for the city and county, with five members elected at large and 35 members elected to represent individual districts.
Although local elections are officially considered nonpartisan, the majority of the city's elected officials are Democrats. As far as state government, Democrats currently hold the majority of Nashville's state House of Representatives districts and state Senate districts.
When it comes to federal government, Nashville is split between two congressional districts, with most of the city located in the 5th District.
Democratic favoritism is no less prominent at the federal level, with only two instances of a Republican presidential candidate carrying the area. The city often favors Democratic nominees, despite the fact that the State of Tennessee as a whole often votes in favor of Republicans.
