Thinking about going on the job market this year? A lot has been written on it, so in this article, I've posted my recommended links of that literature and a high end view of what has changed and what hasn't changed: sebastiantellotrillo.com/notes/pullin...

When firms aren’t allowed to hire low-skill foreign workers, they don’t hire more Americans. They produce less, invest less, and shrink, with the sharpest effects in rural areas, say researchers at @jhu.edu and @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/imm...

Winning the visa lottery
Evidence from a US government lottery shows that restricting foreign low-skill workers shrinks businesses without creating jobs for Americans.

🚨New Paper 🚨 with Dan Grossman and Sarah Hamersma! authors.elsevier.com/c/1mxflc24bE... In policy debates, we often say the U.S. system is “fragmented.” But what does that actually look like for families, and how has that evolved? and how has US policy shifted this?

The reality here is that universities would love to hire visible and capable conservative scholars. That they have to create separate centers, and then hire people who would never make it in an open search, underlines the fact that its not anti-conservative bias, its a lack of strong candidates.

New, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants. The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trumps-sch...

Why? The authors provide two reasons: First, economic strains leads individuals to compensate for their loss of legal revenues with illegal earnings. Second, cancer patients face lower expected cost of punishment through a lower survival probability. Wow!

Navigating non-public childcare closures with educators and parents sometimes feel like a headline that reads: “Higher wage earners pressure lower wage earners to work so that higher wage earners can keep earning their high wage."

Sometimes so-called “problem solvers” are so focused on solving a problem that they become a tad blind to other implications that solving the problem entail. Depending on who the problem solver is, some of those consequences disproportionally affect people in less powerful positions.
