New York City Mayor Eric Adams may be dealing with rising crime and a homeless problem but he's made it clear that he's willing to pay big money for someone who can get rid of the city's rats. 

Adams announced a job posting for what he's terming the Big Apple's 'Rat Czar' on Thursday, more formally known as Citywide Director of Rodent Mitigation. 

The job, which pays between $120,000 to $170,000, is being listed for anyone with a background of urban planning, project management or government work, but it seems the Democrat mayor wants someone with flair for the position.

Adams tweeted: 'There's NOTHING I hate more than rats. If you have the drive, determination and killer instinct needed to fight New York City's relentless rat population - then your dream job awaits.'

The description goes even further, describing the job as doing 'the impossible' in stopping the city's rats.
