The Wall Street Journal’s Greater New York team is looking for an aggressive, news-breaking reporter to cover economic development in New York City and the region.

In addition to possessing a keen eye for a good story, the successful candidate will mine economic and demographic data to spot trends ahead of the competition — for GNY, U.S. News, and Page One.
