All 6,748 official specifications from the New Jersey Civil Service Commission: what the work is, what it pays, and who qualifies.
Start SearchingThese are job specifications, not job postings. Each one describes a position New Jersey employs people in, its duties, pay range, and requirements. Openings come from two places. The Civil Service Commission announces open competitive examinations. Agencies fill provisional, noncompetitive and unclassified positions themselves and post those on their own sites, so which route applies depends on the title.

Quarterly payroll records show which departments employ the most people and what each one pays. The largest employer pays well below the statewide median, and the best-paying one is smaller than a single prison system.

P21, M32, FA17, &38. The code on a New Jersey job specification is two facts joined together, and the letter half decides more about your pay than the number does.

New Jersey runs its public-sector hiring through civil service title specifications: formal documents that spell out what a job involves, what it pays, and who qualifies. They are public records, but they sit scattered across the Civil Service Commission's website and are written in dense administrative language. NJ Civil Service Navigator pulls all 6,748 of them into one place you can actually search, and adds the context the raw specs leave out: what a role pays in today's dollars, where it sits on its promotional ladder, which agencies actually employ people in it, and how you would get hired for it.
It is built for the people who deal with these titles every day: job seekers weighing a move into government work, current state and local employees checking what a promotion pays, HR staff looking up a classification, and reporters or researchers working with workforce data. Every position page links its plain-language summary back to the official specification, and shows the source and the date the data was last refreshed.
