Biden administration pushes for more investment in early childhood care and education. Estimates at the state-level of how many kids' care would be improved.
That 1.2 million is from my study below.

Bummer!!
This is so sad!! Halloween is so fun for the community building. Are they driving to other neighborhoods? I know some people drive to ours…
I was thinking that! There’s this event if <7 years post-PhD and then another for those who are tenured, but I am definitely going to fall into that gap 🫣
Signed up for the @aeacswep.bsky.social junior mentoring breakfast & I didn’t realize that this is the second to last year that I’m eligible 😳
Somehow I’m already in my fifth year as an AP…!
(But only second year of my tenure clock due to extensions 😅)
Congratulations to former ND Econ undergrad Jess Brown on this new pub. @jessicabr

Wow - this is surprising to me!
We are not doing anyone any favors by saying the fund expiration will cause a crisis equivalent to the start of the pandemic.
It's not going to happen & critics will be happy to point that out as evidence that child care is doing just fine & doesn't require govt intervention.
The child care cliff poses challenges for providers. Some may close, many may raise prices, leaving parents & kids in a bind.
But oft-cited estimates that 1/3 will close are wildly improbable - thank you Rachel Cohen for taking a critical look at it -

Thank you!!
The Economics dept at the University of South Carolina is hiring!!
This is a broad tt search for an empirical microeconomist. Preference for ability to teach machine learning or AI methods & research in fields of labor/IO/political economy.
