Meet John Phillips, Associate Commissioner of the Office of Research, Evaluation, and Statistics

摘要

What about this position appealed to you? The position captures the elements that motivated my career choices to date. The Office of Research, Evaluation, and Statistics (ORES) is a federal statistical unit within the Social Security Administration responsible for the production and dissemination of research and data on Social Security programs. I began my federal career 17 years ago as an economist in a division within ORES, so the opportunity to return in a leadership role was an exciting opportunity for me. Over my career at SSA and the National Institutes of Health, I worked to develop research and data that contribute to better understanding the mechanisms that influence the welfare of older Americans. It seems like a great fit.
