ABOUT US



Finance has a high profile within the state government and our work
frequently branches across agencies to inform budget and policy decisions.
The Demographic Research Unit is a group of 10-12 researchers specializing
in Census, survey, vital statistics, housing, and population data. There's
a lot of room to be creative here and rewards for taking initiative. We
have great datasets and a lot less red tape than you'd expect. We are eager
to bring in people with new ideas and passion to produce great social
science.

We’re an hour from the SF Bay, 90 minutes from wine country, and two hours
from the Sierras. The Sacramento area is one of the fastest growing metro
areas in California and there's a lot to do in the city and environs.
