Reporter, Consumers and Spending

The Wall Street Journal’s Life & Work team is hiring an ambitious, creative reporter to help explain to readers what they consume - literally and figuratively - and why. The Journal’s Life & Work desk helps guide readers' decisions and examines the ways we spend money and time, manage our careers, navigate technology, improve our health and better our relationships. You’ll cover what we eat and drink, how we clean our clothes and homes (and ourselves), and how we make decisions about what to buy and what to skip. It’s a fascinating time to take on this beat as individuals and businesses assess the changes of the pandemic and economic forces stand to drive shifts in spending. You’ll take on trend stories, write off the news and pitch stories and projects with big impact. You are a reporter with high metabolism and wide interests who can deliver deadline copy with verve. You spot trends ahead of the competition and source broadly, from business leaders and industry experts to end users, of all backgrounds and from all parts of the U.S. and beyond.
