♥️ to all job market candidates with fewer flyouts than they'd hoped for or feared.
This is a grinding, anxiety-producing time in the process.
Hang in there. Take care of yourself. Keep your committee informed of news. Don't hide.
The spring 2nd-round of matches can be kinder

I spend more time on other networks lately, but I deeply appreciate all of you and hope to continue learning from you. Great things are coming…
I'll remain a fellow at the unique and wonderful @CGDev, a collection of many of the finest people I've ever known. Thank you for 20 incredible years.
Today I became a professor of economics at @GeorgeMasonU, and non-resident senior fellow at @PIIE.
Dazzling new colleagues, students, & opportunities.
I'm deeply grateful to @open_phil for their gift supporting my new research.
And to all of you for your interest in my work 🙏v
No menos importante: a nivel individual, la movilidad humana es un camino rápido para la prosperidad y para salir de la pobreza. En este sentido, es muy interesante el trabajo de economistas como Lan Pritchett, Claudio Montenegro y @m_clem.

About 1 out of every 5 child care workers in the U.S. is an immigrant.
Do immigration enforcement policies have downstream implications for the child care market?

Retweeted by Michael Clemens A new book argues that today's typical immigrants permanently undermine social trust and thus economic prosperity.

He was often told that this restricted 'free speech'.

To combat inflation US policymakers have a choice to make: higher interest rates (risking a recession) or opening its doors to immigration satiating tight labor markets & expanding aggregate supply. Here's our oped joint with @ricardo_hausman on @ProSyn: project-syndicate.org/commentary/bid…
Retweeted by Michael Clemens US firms slash production when they are barred at random from hiring #immigrants for low-skill work & do not increase native hiring. This suggests natives are poor substitutes for foreigners in some occupations.

Retweeted by Michael Clemens My wonderful great uncle Giel was executed at the side of a road while being force-marched out of KL Auschwitz.
A soldier shot him in the neck, under policy personally ordered by Adolf Hitler.
US politicians who make common cause with Hitler apologists deserve the unspeakable.
