All the snow out west has me reminiscing about this crazy season

[John A. List @Econ_4_Everyone]

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.

#UPDATE #Avalanche The 2 missing skiers have been found and are deceased. They were 32, and 23 years old. The bodies of the 2 skiers are still on the mountain and they hope to bring them down on Friday when the weather conditions improve.

This is another one, real disposable income per capita. Big swings caused by COVID-era stimulus payments. At the very least it's been a *weird* couple years! I don't think you can really blame people for feeling insecure. The savings rate is also way down.

Had a great time last week presenting my forthcoming JMP titled "Trust and Biased Beliefs: The Demand for Information and Expertise" at the KDSA Research Symposium! I also appreciated Dean Bullard talking with us about PhD life and the future of the School of Business

@JeffStenquist Why are you so much more passionate about such a costly, contentious project than common-sense measures like snow sheds? Nearly all examples you use as justification for the gondola are situations that snow sheds would solve or the gondola would not be operating (ie interlodge)

experimental economists are the kids who never got over playing would you rather in middle school

"No no no this one's a really good one. Would you rather have $3 or a new mug.....

Wait wait wait, what about you have a mug, would you rather keep it or give it away and get $3"

[Utah Avalanche Center @utavy_]

Dangerous avalanche conditions exist! The north-facing slopes that are harboring old weak faceted snow surfaces are not to be messed with.

Preliminarily accident report for the Neff’s Canyon Avalanche available on our website.

@WYOragsdale17 It was Belgium that ruined it for you... taking them to the final is what ended your hopes🙃

[Alex Marchal @AlexMarchal4]

The standings with one game left! At this point we know the scenario- if France wins then Juan survives despite Spain being knocked out in the Rd of 16 and if Argentina wins then Sam comes back to win!

BACK TO BACK WORLD CUP FINAL. 🇫🇷

[EBL @EBL2017]

USA have been *SUPERB* in the World Cup. Berhalter has done a fantastic job & his tactics have given his team the best possible chance of winning in each game.

Below, in this in-depth thread, I break down how he did that & how the USA match up against Netherlands.

THREAD! 🇺🇸🇳🇱

Taremi in the 17 weeks prior to tonight: 12 goals 7 assists in 17 games (about 1 g+a per 60 min), including 2g (both against england) 1a at this world cup. Tonight: 1 blocked shot. But sure. Berhalter has no idea what he's doing. It's these kinds of performances that win tourneys
