Walther Lederer came to the United States in 1933 and, after completing postgraduate work at the University of Iowa, held teaching positions at Hunter College in New York, the University of Delaware in Newark, and Queens College in New York.

In October 1945, he moved to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Business Economics, Balance of Payments Division, and in May 1954 became chief of the Division. Lederer continued in that position until 1969 when he accepted a position as senior economist at the office of the assistant secretary for international economic affairs at the Treasury Department. He retired from the Treasury Department in 1976.
Lederer passed away at the age of 93 on December 26, 2001 at a hospital in northern Virginia. He was survived by his wife Evelyn Parrish Lederer, children Nicholas and Thomas from his first marriage to Ruth Klein Lederer, and sister Ilse Barteau.
