Description

WHO WE ARE:
The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is seeking to fill an Economist II position in the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) unit of the Labor Market Information (LMI) Department which is located in Austin at 101 E. 15th Street. The selected candidate must be willing and able to commute to the Austin metro area 5 days/week. The QCEW program produces a comprehensive tabulation of employment and wage information for workers covered by state unemployment insurance laws. As part of our team, you’ll help ensure the accuracy and completeness of this critical labor market data.

WHO YOU ARE:
The ideal candidate works in a fast paced, team-oriented environment with an emphasis on excellence and continuous improvement. Excellent interpersonal, communication, organizational, planning, and problem-solving skills are highly preferred. Must have ability to prioritize workload, manage time effectively, and adapt to shifting priorities. Position involves multi-tasking, attention to detail, and the ability to work accurately and consistently with repetitive, critical data.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:
The Economist II performs complex (journey-level) economics work. Work involves conducting economic studies and analyses, collecting economic information, and preparing reports.

Assist with the validation of requested administrative changes from outside sources.
Develop training procedures and train new staff on an as-needed basis.
Collect and process employment, wage, and business information for individual establishments through surveys, such as the Multiple Worksite Report (MWR) and the Annual Refiling Survey (ARS).
Process large amounts of paper MWRs using established manual procedures, by hand with pen and paper, to prepare data for electronic processing.
Process employer responses to the Annual Refiling Survey, assigning or revising their industry and geographic codes, addresses, and adding worksite locations.
Process several sets of quarterly reports to validate, edit, and code large amounts of data through research and analysis at the micro and macro levels to document and reconcile employment, wages, and contributions by industry and location. Work performance includes heavy periods of in-depth review of employer data to track, explain, and resolve inconsistencies.
Assign North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industry and geographic codes to hundreds of new and established businesses every month following the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) procedures and guidelines.
Perform extensive research using databases, internet and software as analytical and research tools.
Collect and validate confidential data from reluctant employers.
