Some of my friend who applied to RA and got a message after freezing that that position was sort of affected. And yes, might most of the position be filled with the people already apllied but there are still some RA positions open now in some of each regional bank. So my point is, it is worth checking out still now!

Some of the regional federal reserve bank restarted hiring Research Assistants this week, after nearly 90 days of hiring freeze from mid Jan held by the new government. I have heard for Fed Dallas and Kansas City at least. RA experiences at regional fed would be really strong foundations and advantages for future Finance/Econ/Business Ph.D application. RA is usually open to both of the BA and master. Although their websites still show the info of hiring freeze, I have heard the officials sent the messages to applicants about the release of freeze. It's worth to pay close attention. example https://www.kansascityfed.org/jobsearch

For the people who is looking for RA to prepare next round or after PhD application, I highly recommend you to check Federal Reserve Bank's research assistant positions. Because the experiences there would be strong advantages for application. Although most of RA at universities in the US are closed, I heard some of the regional fed just restarted after certain length of hiring freeze.
