NERA economists have long been recognized as leaders and innovators in the employment and labor field. Our expertise and capabilities span projects involving class certification, discrimination, wage and hour litigation, workforce reviews/evaluations of RIFs, economic loss and damages, contracting affirmative action, availability disparity studies, and sampling and surveys. Experts in our Labor and Employment Practice specialize in rigorous economic analysis based on the specific details of the employees, companies, and labor markets we study. Our statistical expertise allows us to develop targeted econometric studies that address the critical questions in a case, and we take pride in being able to explain our results using clear, compelling language and graphics. In addition to our in-house survey and sampling expertise, we offer extensive data processing capabilities that help clients manage and process large, complex personnel databases with maximum efficiency. Clients return to us both in the context of litigation to provide expert testimony necessary to evaluate statistical claims of liability, as well as to ensure equity in all types of employment outcomes in the day-to-day management of their workforces.
