    Organization Description :

    CEPR was established in 1999 to promote democratic debate on the most important economic and social issues that affect people's lives.

    In order for citizens to effectively exercise their voices in a democracy, it is necessary that they be informed about the problems and choices that they face.

    An informed public should then be able to choose policies that lead to an improving quality of life, both for people within the United States, and around the world.

    Toward this end, CEPR conducts both professional research and public education so that the public is better prepared to choose among the various policy options.

    The professional research is oriented towards filling important gaps in the understanding of particular economic and social problems, or the impact of specific policies, both domestically and globally.

    The public education portion of CEPR's mission is to present the findings of professional research, both by CEPR and others, in a manner that allows broad segments of the public to know exactly what is at stake in major policy debates.

    As part of its public education initiative, CEPR utilizes research findings and analysis to challenge the myths, assumptions, policies and institutions that perpetuate economic and social inequality.

    CEPR's founding scholars include Dean Baker and Mark Weisbrot, and Robert Pollin, Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts.

    CEPR is an equal opportunity employer that considers applicants for all positions without regard to race, color, religion, creed, gender, national origin, age, disability, marital or veteran status, sexual orientation, or any legally protected status.

    Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
