Person who was fired here - you should still trust BLS data. The agency is being run by the same dedicated career staff who were running it while I was awaiting confirmation from the Senate. And the staff have made it clear that they are blowing a loud whistle if there is interference.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

Hi #causalsky - Has anyone done a dynamic DiD set up when we have accumulating treatments or multiple events with cumulative effects? Some units are true controls, some have one event, some have multiple at different points in time. @jmwooldridge.bsky.social @pedrosantanna.bsky.social please Repost!
