　　Description

　　About Us:

　　The UKG Labor Economist is a full-time lead labor economist leading analysis and media engagement regarding global workplace and labor trends. The primary responsibility will be the UKG Workforce Activity Report. Born out of a need to provide business leaders, policy planners, and decision-makers in the public and private sectors with an accurate view of a labor economy that has been changing rapidly over the past few years especially, the UKG Workforce Activity Report is a high frequency index made up of proprietary timekeeping data from 35,000 U.S. businesses and 4.2 million people.

　　By analyzing the number of shifts being worked at U.S. businesses, UKG has cultivated an accurate view of hiring and job creation that is available up to several weeks before the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employment Situation Report. The UKG Workforce Activity Report is highly sought after by media where it is regularly cited by top tier outlets including CNBC, Reuters, NPR, U.S. News, among others; a variety of public sector agencies engaged in policy making; and private sector entities that manage more than $5 trillion in assets.

　　In addition to leading data analysis of our WAR, the labor economist will engage in speaking engagements, participate in research study teams, write blogs, liaison with external parties who utilize our work, present to customers, and serve as a key spokesperson with the media for labor-related topics. The labor economist will also have the opportunity to explore other proprietary UKG data sets to identify additional opportunities to extract insights and create future indices.
