I’m on the #EconJobMarket! I study labor, extreme weather adaptation, and inequality. My JMP addresses an under-studied aspect of the labor market: schedule unpredictability among hourly workers in the service sector. 🧵👇

👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year! Let's start with a student describing her segregated school: "The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education" The twist? The student is white, and her school is private. A JMP 🧵 -->

Joe Winkelmann & I have released a new @wheelockpolicybu.bsky.social working paper: "Labor Market Strength and Declining Community College Enrollment" We show stronger labor markets since 2009 explain most of the decline in community college enrollments. wheelockpolicycenter.org/high-quality...

🚀 I'm on the #EconSky Job Market! My JMP asks a classic question: Do large, dominant firms foster or hinder innovation? To study this, I turn to the Great Merger Wave (1895–1904), when >2,600 U.S. firms combined into corporate giants like U.S. Steel and DuPont. A JMP 🧵👇 (1/13)

I think that this tweet is incorrect. SNAP functions as a subsidy to low-wage employers because SNAP has work requirements. In order to gain SNAP benefits, people typically have to work 80 hours a month (or be eligible through some other mechanism).

The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these plants face an increased risk of cancer. By @lisalsong.bsky.social, 📸: @annie-flanagan.bsky.social

It would seem they're still flaring in the Bakken.

it's insensitive to make jokes about it being the christmas season now. frankenstein lost his job today. show a little tact

US ethanol exports on the rise. Very discouraging bc it continues to be sold as low-GHG. Lots of evidence that it is not. Also worth noting that CA recently started allowing 15% ethanol blend. Other states already *allow*, but most retailerscontinue to sell E-10 instead. www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...

Q: Mr. Johnson, you understand that you’re actually the Speaker of the House, correct? A: I don’t know much about that. I just heard something about it this morning but don’t know the specifics.

A student presentation in which I (unexpectedly) feature prominently 🫣 Setup is an extensive form game, I’m one of the players, and I love punishing cheating students (flames for eyes, yelling PUNISH PUNISH PUNISH) The headshot I thought looked OK looks terrible when it’s actually just my head 😂

I know it’s the most tired take to have, but can you imagine what would happen if Kamala said this? Wall-to-wall coverage and hit pieces about free markets, interviews with “real” Americans in western Oklahoma, ending with her having conspicuous burgers and steaks in public. For Trump: 🦗🦗

For years, an erroneous (see: www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar...) satellite-based estimate of atmospheric temperatures by climate contrarians Roy Spencer & John Christy was used by climate-denying politicians to dispute human-caused warming. 🧵
