Reuters seeks a U.S. economics reporter

Reuters is seeking a Washington-based reporter to join its U.S. economics unit, reinforcing a team gearing up to chronicle the emergence of the U.S. economy from the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is an excellent opportunity to cover the world’s biggest economy as the Biden administration promises to make the coming boom a more equitable one for racial and ethnic minorities, women and lower-income workers and their families. The Fed has reshaped how it pursues its policy goals with an aspiration to guide the economy to an “inclusive” level of maximum employment. Essentially, a grand experiment is just kicking off that aims to reshape the economy in a profound and lasting manner.

In this opportunity as US Economics Reporter you will:

• Work with the team’s editor and other reporters to tell the story of the changing US economy in depth and with distinction
• Handle a demanding spot news component, including coverage of a range of economic indicators and assisting Federal Reserve reporters with coverage of policymakers’ speeches and other key events

• Have at least 1 year of financial news reporting experience
• Have strong financial market knowledge, familiarity with the U.S. economy and the policies – both monetary and fiscal – that influence its performance
• Can generate high-quality, innovative ideas and then deliver high-impact stories
