The Analyst I classification is distinguished from the Analyst II classification in that the latter is the journey level classification within the series that performs duties of a more difficult and complex nature related to administrative policy analysis, legislative analysis, economic analysis, budgetary analysis, complex financial/fiscal analysis and reporting, data analysis, technical writing including the development of scopes of work, technical specifications, and independent cost estimates, and general contract and administrative support for divisions within the Operations Department.
