• COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISORS (CEA)
  
  The Council of Economic Advisors' job is to assist and advise the president of the United States on economic policy. The CEA differs from other government agencies in its academic orientation and emphasis on contemporary developments in economic thought. The Council consists of a chairman and two staff members, appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, plus a staff of about 10 economists and 10 younger scholars. The Council's chairman frequently speaks on behalf of the administration on economic issues and policies.
