NEW: Census Bureau lost over 1,000 employees through early retirement and voluntary separation offers in recent months and plans to cut some statistical work, acting Director Ron Jarmin says. "It feels a little bit like Thanos snapped his finger and a lot of your friends and colleagues went away..."

The National Study of American Life, which studies the social determinants of health in preventing and treating Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in Black and white Americans, was cut less than 2 months after it's renewal.

NDWS surveys of community clinicians, nurses, and direct care workers who care for people living with dementia will help researchers understand the composition, training, and care practices of this vital workforce and why workers burnout and leave their jobs. Wave 1 data is coming soon. www.ndws.org
