Summary
Andrew Foote is Lead Economist at the U.S. Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics group, bringing nine years of applied labor-market research and data product experience. He directs teams that build innovative administrative-data products, including leading the Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes effort and contributing to the OnTheMap public tool. His research centers on job loss, initial labor-market entry after graduation, and how local conditions shape those transitions, blending rigorous academic training (PhD, UC Davis) with operationalizing complex data for public use. Skilled at translating technical methods into plain language, he regularly engages internal and external stakeholders to increase product impact. Based in Washington, D.C., he pairs deep empirical expertise with practical program delivery, often bridging methodological research and production data pipelines. An early career focus on constructing novel datasets and survival analysis hints at a long-standing aptitude for turning messy administrative records into policy-relevant insights.
