Revelio Labs provides workforce intelligence. We absorb and standardize hundreds of millions of public employment records to create the world’s first universal HR database, allowing us to see current workforce composition and trends of any company. Our customers include investors, corporate strategists, HR teams, academics, and governments.

What we’re looking for:

Revelio Labs is looking for an applied Economist Intern to join the Economics team for the summer of 2026. The Economics team at Revelio Labs is charged with many exciting tasks: analyzing and deriving insights from our data, writing our weekly newsletter, collaborating with external partners and media, and delivering data and custom insights to our clients. As an Economist Intern, you will contribute to the team and work alongside our economists and data scientists.

We’re looking for third-year or higher PhD candidates in Economics or related fields. As the ideal candidate, you will have experience doing empirical research using large microlevel data and know your way around loading, cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing data. You are interested in labor market trends, business analytics, and human resources. You have a knack for data-driven journalism: asking the right questions, telling an interesting story with data, and communicating nuanced ideas with clarity. You are also interested in solving business problems and enjoy brainstorming how best to apply the data.

As an Economist Intern at Revelio Labs, you will contribute to writing the weekly newsletter. This includes analyzing and interpreting our data, visualizing the key insights, and telling the story. You will also support members of the Client Success Team with client projects, helping deliver data and custom analysis, and work with journalists who are interested in our findings and stories.

Experience and Skills:

• PhD candidate in Economics or closely related field (3rd year and above)
• Experience in applied economic research, business journalism, consulting, or a data analysis capacity is preferred.
• Python (pandas, numpy, matplotlib, Plotly)
• SQL

Location:

Our offices are based in New York City, but the position can be done remotely.

Compensation:

The compensation for this internship is $62.50/hour, along with free access to our data for use in research after the internship. We expect interns to work 40 hours per week, for the 3-month duration of the internship.

Why you should intern with us:

We are working on some of the most challenging and cutting-edge data science problems. You will work with a team of economists and data scientists with advanced domain expertise. Our startup is small and growing quickly, with enormous potential for growth. The internship can also be an opportunity for a full time position later at Revelio Labs.
