Ban the box may not actually lead to discrimination against minority men. annemburton.com/pages/working_…

📢New Paper📢 After the summer of 2020, news outlets widely reported that cops were quitting in droves and that George Floyd-related activism was a main cause. But we don’t know what really happened without national data. [1]

Banning felony convicts from safety-net assistance reduces long-term SNAP receipt, lowers program take-up for family members, and harms educational outcomes for their children, from @Econ_Mike, @james_m_reeves, Kevin Schnepel, and Caroline Walker nber.org/papers/w31983

#ICYMI, the EEOC signed an agreement with the Census Bureau to provide secure access to EEOC data, including workforce demographic data and charge data. Researchers who complete the @uscensusbureau vetting process can access and analyze the EEOC data. eeoc.gov/newsroom/eeoc-…

@JeffDenning I think there is some block-level information with the decennial (although I haven't used it so can't say how useful it is). e.g. data.census.gov/table?q=Race+a… census.gov/programs-surve…

What is the finest level of geography that the census reports race composition for? Bonus if you have a link
