Description Resolution Economics is seeking a Consultant I to join our Labor & Employment Practice in our Austin office, on site, with availability to start in the summer of 2027!Job Description:Resolution Economics is seeking a Consultant I to join our Labor & Employment Practice in our Austin office, on site, with availability to start in the summer of 2027! The Consultant I ('Consultant') position is the entry-level position at Resolution Economics and no prior work experience is required to apply. Consultants assist with the managing of documents and data received from our clients. This includes converting raw data into analytical files, verifying data integrity, running statistical analyses, creating charts and tables, and finalizing documents and data for production. In some cases when the appropriate data is not available, Consultants may be required to assist in collecting data via observation studies or in-person surveys at client locations.
Consultants typically play a major part in forming and testing hypotheses when analyzing data and are expected to be (or become) proficient programmers with a trained eye for details. While Consultants will regularly process data and perform empirical work, they will also be expected to develop a sense of the big picture for each case and to learn how to shape findings into a coherent story supported by prevailing economic theories and statistical methods.
The ideal candidate is highly motivated and intellectually curious, with a positive attitude and some exposure to basic statistical software or computer programming languages. We are looking for motivated individuals with a collaborative spirit and a willingness to learn. The litigation environment can be unpredictable, so the Consultant should be able to handle multiple requests and accommodate tight deadlines confidently. For the right candidate, the position will be as rewarding as it is demanding. Consultants will quickly learn that they have the support of a team of intelligent and highly motivated individuals who have a genuine interest in their professional development and advancement to higher positions. The Consultant role offers a challenging and rewarding pathway for those seeking to grow into future leaders and experts in the field.
Salary Scale:Consultants are paid an annual salary of between $97,300 and $103,000, subject to all required deductions and withholdings, and not including the value of benefits under any Resolution Economics-maintained benefit plan. The Consultant position is classified as exempt from overtime pay requirements under applicable Federal and State law.

- Gathering data from a variety of file formats using SAS programming, OCR, data entry, or other methods
- Data cleaning and processing
- Performing statistical analyses including t-tests, chi-square tests, regressions, etc.

- Researching additional data sources (e.g., Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census, etc.)
- Assisting staff at all levels with project tasks and quality control
- Reviewing and summarizing documents
- Occasional travel may be required on certain projects
Job Qualifications:Skills and Abilities - Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (especially Excel, Word, and PowerPoint)

- Ability to quickly learn and apply new concepts
- Strong teamwork and communication abilities
- Solid work ethic and commitment to success
