If they have 500 economists on staff they can say “we have 500 economists and they all say we can borrow forever”
So, your theory is that they already had 113 economists and decided to staff up for the sake of this PR gimmick? Maybe.
reply
Alternatively maybe they know they are screwed and are hoping one of the 500 can figure out a way to fix it.

There’s a chance that it’s just some sort of reorganization. One of the universities I was at did something like that.
On paper it looked like they had fired and hired tons of people, when really they were just shuffling the deck chairs around.

You should apply. It’s a government job; how hard can it be. You could probably work both jobs and still post on SN all day.
reply
You’re probably right, but I’d rather work towards having zero fake jobs than having multiple.
reply
I feel there are a lot of jobs where you could do SN all day. SN isnt that intrusive, you can post whenever you want.

I have always thought of getting a remote job while I worked. But eventually you will get caught.
How hard is it to actually get a government job?

Maybe Janet Yellen just wants to be the big dog in the econ world and say she employs more economists than Jerome Powell

And she can present a letter signed by 300 economists!
