Ruth,

The ten “Counsel” positions were just entitled “Counsel”. There are other job titles with “Counsel” in it (Deputy Assistant and Deputy Counsel to the President, Counsel to the President and Director of Office for Health Care Reform, Tax Counsel). Those ten positions only say “Counsel” but don’t give any other information.

There were lots of other examples I could have given, but I tried to keep the blog post under 500 words… editorial guidelines!

Thanks for doing the research. I was curious myself, but not enough to put in the work that you did. Very interesting results.
P.S. – Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!

Thanks, Danine. Nice work and an interesting post. I’d like to know more about that “counsel” position. Are these comparable jobs or just catch-all titles?
