Economic Analysts at DOB are typically involved in:

* Supporting the U.S. macroeconomic forecast team to produce quarterly forecasts and related reports for the State Financial Plan and Annual Information Statement.

* Constructing econometric and predictive analytics models to forecast economic growth, employment, income, inflation, and related variables and quantify the impacts of changing economic trends and policy changes.

* Monitoring economic data releases, news articles, and research developments related to the U.S. and NYS economic dynamics.

* Identifying economic trends that may impact the State's long-term fiscal condition and authoring briefing materials for leadership awareness.

* Drafting analytical reports and recommendations to guide decision-making, including reviewing literature, synthesizing data, and illustrating trends and projections.

* Overseeing junior analysts by ensuring the quality and efficiency of their work and fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth.

* Fluency in statistical software packages (EViews and SAS preferred), Excel formulas and functions, PowerPoint presentations, and other Microsoft applications.

* Strong written, visual, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex economic concepts to non-technical audiences.
