Peter Cappelli
Peter Cappelli, Field Economist, New York City, NY
"As a field economist, I get to meet many successful business professionals and learn about their firm and industry. The challenge we face as BLS field economists is to learn about many different industries and how they price goods, and services.
Most importantly, the Bureau requires people in this position who understand economics, are technically savvy, but also have a "sales" personality, and I enjoy working with such a staff."
