Frequently asked questions

What is IPERS, and why does it matter for a job?

IPERS — the Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System — is a defined-benefit pension that pays a guaranteed monthly income for life, calculated by a formula rather than stock-market performance. It covers more than 400,000 current and retired Iowans (about 1 in 10). A job that is IPERS-covered builds that lifetime pension, which is why public workers value staying within the system.

Which Iowa employers offer IPERS?

Under Iowa Code chapter 97B, IPERS coverage is the default for nearly every public employer: state agencies, all 99 counties and their cities, every public school district, Area Education Agencies, community colleges, public universities, and county hospitals. (The main exception: full-time police and firefighters in larger civil-service cities are under MFPRSI, a separate system.)

Is IPERS Jobs free to use?

Yes. The board is completely free, requires no account or sign-in, and never collects applicant data. Each listing links directly to the employer's own application page. The site is funded by ads so it can stay free for job seekers.

How many jobs are listed and how often are they updated?

The board aggregates several thousand live openings from official employer hiring systems across Iowa, refreshed every few hours. We don't yet cover every IPERS employer — new sources are added over time, and you can suggest one we're missing. You can filter by employer type, county, city, salary, and full- or part-time.

Are all of these jobs really IPERS-covered?

The listings come from IPERS-covered public employers, so the positions are covered in nearly all cases. Coverage is set by Iowa law rather than stated in each posting; confirm specifics with the employer. This is an independent resource and is not affiliated with IPERS or the State of Iowa.
