Super proud of all the U.S. Census Bureau employees awarded U.S. Commerce Dept. Gold and Silver Medals this year. Lots of great work represented here from the #2020Census to our innovative #COVID19 Pulse Surveys. commerce.gov/hr/73rd-annual… via U.S. Commerce Dept.




Nice way to finish the week: grant award email from U.S. National Science Foundation for a project I'm excited about (more soon), lost suitcase finally found, & it's ☀️. I'm out of here...🍻

Still time to add to your summer reading list. Full of examples of how novel data sources and modern methods are transforming economic measurement. Read the intro by Katharine Abraham, Brian Moyer, Matthew Shapiro and me here: www-personal.umich.edu/~shapiro/paper….

So happy to be getting some KC BBQ with these hard working U.S. Census Bureau folks after the first annual #FSRDC meeting since 2019…cuz you know. Thanks to Didem Tuzemen and the team at the KC Fed for hosting a great two days!



I am honored by this recognition American Society of Hispanic Economists and the congratulations from colleagues and The Cook Center on Social Equity / St. Cloud State. All previous individual service awardees have elevated the profession w/ their research and their vocation to elevate everyone else with them! Thank you!


I couldn't be prouder for our U.S. Census Bureau colleague @ErikaMcentarfer who's been nominated to be the next BLS-Labor Statistics Commissioner. The Center for Economic Studies will now be able to claim both the Census Deputy Director and the BLS Commissioner! Not too shabby.

Congratulations to @ErikaMcentarfer, who has been nominated to be the next BLS-Labor Statistics Commissioner! Such a great choice and well-deserved honor. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…


That includes us! Sylvérie Herbert Flavio Stanchi & Hautahi Kingi
