The City of Chicago is a large municipal government in the United States serving a diverse, densely populated urban area that comprises 77 neighborhoods. Under the leadership of Mayor Brandon Johnson, the city emphasizes effective governance, the reliable delivery of high-quality services, and transparency. It aims to address urban challenges and to be a preferred employer for residents. The Chicago Department of Human Resources (DHR) manages the city’s human resources functions, including policy development, interdepartmental guidance, fair hiring, and programs for employee development. DHR oversees a substantial and diverse workforce with a wide range of job categories, prioritizing fair, equitable, and transparent employment practices free from political influence. A recent development is the May 2025 launch of the Chicago Moves Electric Framework to expand the city’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
