How to Apply

Thank you for your interest in employment at the Legislative Analyst’s Office. The LAO accepts and evaluates applications throughout the year, and maintains a list of interested and qualified individuals to hire from when vacancies occur. When vacancies occur, the LAO advertises those positions on its website (www.lao.ca.gov).

The LAO also recruits nationally on various campuses during the winter and spring. During the campus recruiting process, the LAO typically is recruiting to fill the general fiscal and policy analyst position as opposed to specific assignments. This is because we do not know which assignments will be vacant when new hires report for work the following summer and fall.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, resume, and three references (name, relationship, and phone numbers only).
