Full Text of JOE Listing:

The U.S. Census Bureau anticipates multiple job openings for economists. The Census Bureau provides an excellent environment for empirically-oriented economists to use confidential microdata on businesses and households, linked employer-employee data, and administrative records from federal and state agencies to conduct research on a wide range of topics. These topics include business dynamics (productivity, trade, entrepreneurship, innovation); labor dynamics (employment, earnings, education, worker flows); income measurement (income inequality, income mobility, taxation, poverty, program participation); health (disability, insurance markets, mortality); household dynamics (family structure, migration, fertility); privacy and disclosure avoidance; and environmental and climate economics.

Economists' activities include presenting analytical and methodological research at professional conferences; publishing in scholarly journals; writing descriptive reports for the public; maintaining and improving data collection; and responding to inquiries from Congress, the press, and the public on topics of interest. Experience with firm-, household-, and/or industry-level data is especially valued, as are skills in data manipulation, analysis, and big data techniques. U.S. citizenship is required. Positions are subject to budgetary approval. The Census Bureau is an equal opportunity employer. Please submit materials using the JOE application. Review of materials will begin on November 19 and continue until positions are filled.
