A diverse staff of more than 10,000 employees from over 160 countries works at the World Bank. Two-thirds of us are based in Washington, DC, while the remaining third are at work in more than 100 country offices in the developing world. We are economists, educators, environmental scientists, financial analysts, and managers, as well as foresters, agronomists, engineers, information technology specialists and social scientists, to name a few. We apply our skills and the Bank's resources to bridge the economic divide between poor and rich countries, to turn rich country resources into poor country growth and to achieve sustainable poverty reduction.
