Know anyone in your network at high-hiring areas?

I know D is hiring heavily in GPS tech consulting work (literally got an email today about increased referral rates) but I’m sure other firms have hot areas they’re hiring in.

I think it means “Government & Public Sector” but not 100% sure. I am not at D.
