The Congressional Budget Office is a nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress and is ranked as one of the best places to work among small federal agencies. CBO seeks a Director of Macroeconomic Analysis to lead a division that monitors economic conditions, prepares CBO’s economic forecast, conducts analyses of the effects of fiscal policy on the economy and on the federal budget, and works closely with CBO’s Panel of Economic Advisers .
The division’s Director collaborates with CBO’s senior managers to formulate and implement a strategic agenda for the division’s analytical work—working closely with the division’s three other managers to oversee research and modeling as well as the development of reports produced by a staff of about 15 analysts, the majority of whom have a Ph.D. in economics. The division’s Director is responsible for ensuring that the division functions effectively and that its work continues to meet the highest standards. CBO’s analyses of issues and legislative proposals receive considerable attention and scrutiny; they must reflect the best thinking and modeling to meet CBO’s goal of providing the Congress with objective, nonpartisan analysis.
