The market for economists remains strong: universities, colleges, business firms, international organizations, and government agencies have numerous openings, and graduates of high quality Ph.D. programs have no difficulty in finding rewarding positions that pay well. The Penn Economics Department assists its Ph.D. candidates to find appropriate positions by circulating everyone's credentials to well over a thousand employers of Ph.D.- level economists, by advising students at every step of the job hunting process (i.e., application procedures, interviews, presentation of research seminars, negotiations, and decisions), and by urging particular employers to consider qualified Penn students. An established member of the senior faculty serves as Graduate Placement Officer to coordinate the process and help all students; individual faculty members in the student's field (including the primary dissertation advisor) offer extensive personal help. Resources are also available through Penn's Career Planning and Placement Center, which employs two professional counselors specifically for graduate students. During recent years, Penn students have accepted academic positions at Boston University, Brown, UCLA, and Carnegie-Mellon, University of Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, and Georgetown, University of Illinois, Indiana University, and University of Iowa. University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, MIT (Sloan), New York University, University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), Northwestern, Princeton, Purdue, Rutgers, Stanford, Williams, and Yale, among others. Nonacademic positions have been accepted, at Bell Laboratories, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Trade Commission, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank.
