Economic Analyst - Washington, DC
This position offers an opportunity to participate in the Language Hiring Bonus Program. See "Bonus Programs" in the Benefits section for more information.
Economic analysts assess foreign economic, trade, and financial issues that affect US security interests. They work closely with political, leadership, and military analysts throughout the Intelligence Community to produce written intelligence papers and briefings for US policymakers and other US officials. Economists working in regional offices focus on the range of macroeconomic and microeconomic issues facing the country or region they cover, to include foreign policies or practices that are of potential concern to US national security. Economists working transnational issues take a broader, global approach to such matters and tend to delve more deeply into technical details, particularly in terms of macroeconomic stability and finance. Economic analysts may also assess illicit financial activities, including terrorist and criminal networks, money laundering, or foreign corruption. Economists with strong regional studies backgrounds and special expertise in the international trade or financial system, impact of sanctions or energy issues are of particular interest.
