- We may not have a #JobsReport, but we do have a new @hamiltonproject.org labor market data interactive! Plot series on labor force participation, employment, unemployment, and other key indicators. I use this more than FRED. www.hamiltonproject.org/data/trackin...
- It’s great when robots come for things you hate to do. (My dishwasher is broken.)

- This is a very serious letter from a very comprehensive set of organizations making very tactful tactical points. While I'm on the record in favor of repealing the OBBBA SNAP provisions in their entirety, delaying implementation by years is unequivocally warranted. www.nga.org/news/press-r...
- This is a continuation, not an aberration.
- @hamiltonproject.org's Trade Tracker is not new, but it is improved with more features including policy overlays: Tracker: www.hamiltonproject.org/data/trackin... Kudos to @ashapatt.bsky.social & Kari Heerman for the update to @wendyedelberg.bsky.social & @rikimatsumoto.bsky.social's great work!
- Reposted by Lauren BauerThe older a student was in the first year of COVID-related school disruptions, the steeper the decline in proficiency—particularly for math. Explore new interactive data from Lauren Bauer and Eileen Powell.
- Does it matter at what age a child experienced the COVID shock for subsequent learning? Eileen Powell and I have taken a first stab by looking at math and English proficiency by grade cohorts. The answer: yep. www.hamiltonproject.org/publication/...
- We find that older that the student was during the COVID shock, the lower the subsequent proficiency trajectory. This is more evident in math than in English. Follow the rainbow from red to purple - this really surprised me.
- The Hamilton Project is hiring! We have an opening for a research assistant (senior) or senior research assistant (masters or work experience) to join our team. Learn more at www.hamiltonproject.org! Please circulate and apply: careers-brookings.icims.com/jobs/3757/re... #EconSky

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency. Then she died. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

- Where are SNAP benefits being delivered? November 1 (left): No SNAP benefits delivered anywhere. Morning of November 10 (right): If the state/county is a lighter color than the left, at least partial benefits were delivered in the past few days. If it's a darker color, still nothing...
- @crampell.bsky.social gets @davidasuper.bsky.social to weigh in: he says that no, states do not have to CLAW BACK properly issued benefits.
- SNAP update. Insane one. So USDA is now saying on a huge lag: - issue partial payments using a bad-math formula; - CLAW BACK full issuances that any state sent *properly* under last week's guidance; - if you don't CLAW BACK benefits, we won't pay the federal share of SNAP administrative costs (??)
- The Propel data are the best way to see what is going on with SNAP benefit delivery on a national level. www.propel.app/shutdown-fun... On November 3, New Mexico delivered SNAP benefits.
- Actually, if the President decided to do so and change his mind once again, he had the authority and the funds to pay SNAP benefits in full.
