This is a great opportunity for junior education economists looking for work.

Thank you to the Labor and Accounting Group (LAG) for the opportunity to present our paper at Stanford GSB. It’s exciting to see cross-disciplinary research in labor economics and accounting spark fresh insights and ideas. #LaborEconomics #Accounting

Dan Gaylin • 2nd President and CEO, NORC 10h • 너 + Follow Like many of our peer organizations, this week NORC had to reduce our staff to ensure we are operating effectively and have the right mix of skills to align with client needs. The people departing NORC are highly talented and capable professionals, and they have made important contributions to our mission of delivering trustworthy and reliable data and analysis to inform society's most important decisions. They will be valuable employees and colleagues wherever their careers take them next. To each of you who are leaving, and on behalf of everyone at NORC, I offer our deepest thanks and appreciation for your dedicated service and the lasting impact you've made on our organization.

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work.

The econ job market seems rough this season, so this is an extra fabulous opportunity work with my friend @gabriellepepin.bsky.social!

If the work isn’t enticing enough, let me tell you that when we shared an office, she was the best at bringing in treats to share 🍪

Brendan Moore and Casey McQuillan shared their work on “The Benefits of Unemployment Insurance for Marginally Attached Workers”. Be on the lookout for this paper to be release publicly.

Ken Troske and co-authors shared findings on the labor market returns to an IT online training program in Louisville, KY. It outperforms WIOA but underperforms in-person sectoral training. However, it’s more cost-effective than in-person training. gattonweb.uky.edu/faculty/Tros...

Josh McGee shared his work on teacher pipelines in Arkansas. He and his co-authors evaluated the impact of the LEARNS Act where the state made the min teacher salary to be $50K and more. More to come from Josh! bpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/wordpressua....

Happy to share a working paper version of @florianederer.bsky.social, Kyle and my forthcoming AEA P&P, Anonymous Attention and Abuse. We use our existing database of EJMR posts to study EJMR’s relationship with other information sources.

Attended an insightful session at @appam.bsky.social led by Kevin Stange! Did you know 23% of higher edu students face food insecurity & 60% eligible for SNAP don’t participate? Scholars are working on some great papers and trying to close this gap #econsky #2024APPAM #APPAM2024

Just re-upping this #econsky: I currently have more mentors than mentees/students (can probably match another 10-11 students from LMICs who would like feedback on a research paper from a senior scholar.) Fill out the form here if interested! forms.gle/ekvvoEKBLYQM...
