AEA job market update. The numbers don't lie, as this is the toughest market for PhD economists in recent memory. JOE listings are down 20% from last year. Worse: they are 19% below COVID levels. Let that sink in. The academic market took the biggest hit. Full-time US positions dropped 33% year-over-year. Liberal arts colleges and PhD-granting universities? Both down about a third. International academic postings fell 13% from last year, 25% from COVID. Nonacademic isn't much better: down 27% from last year, 45% below COVID. And federal government hiring? That's where it gets ugly. Down 71% year-over-year, 79% below COVID. DOGE cuts plus the shutdown created a perfect storm. One bright spot: private sector jobs in consulting, research, banking, and finance are holding steady at recent-year levels. Bottom line for candidates: the data confirm what you're feeling. It's brutal out there. Universities facing their own financial pressures should still find ways to bridge unmatched candidates for another year. The talent is there—the opportunities aren't.

📢 #EdWorkingPapers: Why are college enrollments declining? Joshua Goodman & Joseph Winkelmann show that the drop is concentrated in 2-year colleges and about 60% of the post-Great Recession decline is explained by the pull of stronger labor markets. 📄 edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1338

COVID-19 school closures resulted in schooling disruptions. Global test scores declined 14% of a SD, or 7 months of learning. Losses greater for students in schools that faced longer closures, boys, immigrants, disadvantaged. Educational losses may translate into significant national income losses over time. nature.com/articles/s4153…

The Effect of Raising School Quality on Earnings Literature review shows it's not just years in school that matter—but what’s learned. While one year of schooling yields ~10% higher earnings, a 1 standard deviation increase in test scores yields ~15%. Quality > quantity. #EdPolicy Working paper: edre.uark.edu/_resources/pdf…

Reminder: Only 14% of US residents are immigrants. But immigrants are responsible for 36% of aggregate innovation. Two-thirds of this contribution is due to making their native-born collaborators better.
