I spent most of today doing working on two different research projects. All of the projects I’m working on were assigned by a different staff member, each with his or her own distinct area of interest. Most staffers specialize in a few areas of interest and will usually assist constituents with issues in those similar areas of interest. In one way or another, each project involves important issues that not only affects citizens of Ohio’s ninth congressional district, but citizens across the United States. Even if my research doesn’t end up getting used for legislative purposes, congressional aides and legislative assistants can still use my work and findings to stay on track with current events. One conclusion I’ve made: reading news articles about people who have died can become depressing when this is the only thing I’m doing for half of the day.
The first project I worked on today was to see how the region is affected by companies who relocate by researching information on the Trade Adjustment Act. My second project involves researching economic conditions in several areas across the country.
Unfortunately, there really isn’t much else to say; I intend to continue working on these projects tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing, Poom. Can you share the research projects you have been assigned? It would be valuable to have knowledge and understanding of the work you are doing for your readers. You are doing a great job of explaining the process and purpose of your work. Enjoy your day!
