Built a free site that aggregates NYC public sector job postings — looking for feedback on what to cover

Discussion

I'm a California-based DOT engineer who got tired of checking 30 different agency websites when job hunting, so I built PenPublic — a free job aggregator for government positions. It pulls listings into one place with sorting by salary, agency, job title, etc. No login, no paywall.

It covers about 70% of California state/local jobs now, and I'm expanding to New York. So far I have NYC (cityjobs) and NY State pulled in, so there's some coverage across NYCERS, ERS, PFRS, and the NYC police/fire pension systems. Planning to add:

MTA CUNY NYC DOE Port Authority

Am I missing any big employers? Trying to get decent coverage across the major pension systems — if you're in NYCERS, ERS, TRS, or BERS, are there large agencies I'm not thinking of?

https://penpublic.com/jobs?state=ny

Still early for NY coverage so definitely rough around the edges — just trying to make sure I'm building something actually useful before going deeper.
