Full Text of JOE Listing:

CBO, a nonpartisan agency that provides Congress with the objective, timely analyses needed for economic and budgetary decisions, seeks both new and experienced economists, PhD and Master’s level, who have a broad range of policy interests. Positions require excellent quantitative skills, strong writing ability, and an interest in working on issues of current legislative priorities to the Congress.

Macroeconomists use a suite of economic models to assess the macroeconomic effects of federal fiscal policy and analyze emerging developments in the economy.
Tax Economists conduct economic analysis and write CBO studies on a wide variety of federal tax policy issues. This analysis might include empirical research, development of microsimulation and other models, and projecting federal revenues.
Labor Economists conduct research and analysis on topics such as labor markets, income, poverty, cash and in-kind assistance programs, education and training, and immigration.

CBO analysts address challenging substantive issues in economics and public policy while working in a collegial environment that provides opportunities for research on numerous topics relevant to the agency’s endeavors. They are encouraged to pursue independent research projects related to CBO’s broad mission and present this work at conferences and publish it in peer-reviewed journals.

Staff construct and improve cutting-edge models that underlie CBO's policy analyses and prepare longer-term CBO studies, shorter-term memoranda, and testimonies.
