Show-Me Institute

Economic Research Assistant

August 2019 • St. Louis, MO

What I liked

The employees are very friendly and patient with difficulties I had completing tasks. I got to be involved with research on several different interesting topics.

What I wish was different

A lot of the work is just data entry. Most of it is relatively easy, but sometimes it can be a little tedious and boring. However, if you're interested in a variety of policy topics, it should still be pretty interesting to aid in discovering and compiling the data.

Advice

Try to get involved with the research projects. Learn what the other employees are doing, how you can help them in their research, and express your own interests to them.
