Familiarity with issues like workforce skills gaps, overtime pay thresholds, joint-employer distinctions, labor impact of the opioid crisis, policies that enhance attachment to the workforce, and labor market implications of immigration are especially welcome.

Strong data analysis skills, ability to write succinctly on short deadlines, and a background in economics are preferred. Must be able to quickly locate details, analyze data, produce concise written research on deadline, and work collaboratively with communications staff. Good candidates will demonstrate a proactive ability to assess legislative and regulatory priorities as well as a commitment to free market-oriented policy solutions.

  • Strong writing and research skills
  • Ability to multi-task and shift priorities with little notice
  • An interest in working for a think tank that emphasizes smaller government, sensible conservative policy solutions, and smart financial services policy that benefits consumers and avoids unnecessary Federal government overreach
  • Ability to communicate complex policy and its implications to a variety of audiences and stakeholders, including media
