The+Pendleton+Civil+Service+Reform



The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was a law set by George H. Pendleton. This law states that in order to get a job in the federal government, you must take a exam to prove you are worthy enough to get the job. If you score high on the exam, you will get a lot of options to chose. If you do not, you will probably get a low number of jobs.
