Additional Information about BEA

BEA's work makes a difference. BEA promotes a better understanding of the U.S. economy by providing the most timely, relevant, and accurate economic data in an objective and cost-effective manner. BEA produces key indicators such as the gross domestic product (GDP), personal income, and international transactions and investment estimates.

Come work for a top-notch Federal statistical agency:

  • Results from a 2003 survey show employees rank BEA among the top Federal work places.
  • A recent Government wide assessment of program effectiveness ranked BEA in the top one percent of the 234 programs assessed.

BEA participates in the Demonstration Project, which provides a more flexible pay plan and pay structure than the standard Federal system.

Research Program

The research program, jointly sponsored by the American Statistical Association, the National Science Foundation, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, bridges the gap between academic scholars and government social science research.  Participants conduct research in residence at BEA, have access to BEA data and facilities, and interact with BEA staff.
