What is this all about?

As Chair of the Department of Economics at UCCS, I often run across (or have sent to me) information about career opportunities. Also, I often have materials on career preparation that I wish to make available to students. Unfortunately, distributing this material is often cumbersome.

This site should aid in this effort as it will serve as a central clearinghouse for career information.

IRS Jobs

It appears that the IRS is hiring economists -- go to www.usajobs.gov and enter "economist" in the search box. It is worth noting that you can narrow this search to Denver -- quite a number of openings are available.

Not job related, but ...

I just wanted to provide a "heads-up" that I will be using a new tool for communicating department information (scheduling information, etc.): Economics Student Information. This will not replace other avenues of communication, but will serve as a central repository and new distribution tool.
