Upstate NYer, Illinois resident. Enjoy the outdoors, beer, good gov't, places (in general), & sadly the Pitt. Pirates & WNY sports teams. Opinions are my own.
Clubfoot is a global scourge that affects children born worldwide, yet is easily and cheaply corrected in babies. That's why we don't see it in the US: It's fixed in infancy. A group called @miraclefeet is bringing this help abroad, as this tale shows: https://t.co/zqUICXE63K
The BLS & Census Bureau are jewels in the crown of the United States, and we’re extremely lucky to have the data they collect and publish.
They enable policymakers to serve the people.
Arguments that government statisticians are tampering with that data are just plain wrong.
As #EconEdMonth closes, check out the poster How BLS Collects and Publishes Statistics as a reference guide throughout the year. Learn how we collect, calculate, analyze, and publish data essential to the public, employers, researchers, and government. https://t.co/SLDkS2oIcy

My clarion call for those who use, learn, or profit from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' data to become its champion.
It is being baselessly attacked by politicians who have also starved it for funding. Their budget is down 20% since 2010.

I ran into one of the Buffalo Sabres in the elevator at the Prague hotel. They were in town to play the New Jersey Devils. He invited me to the game but I was performing that night.
Ag is far more than just sitting on a tractor. It’s food production, technology, research... #AgConnectsUsAll + I’m thrilled to kick off IL's first ever Agri-Food Workforce Summit! This isn’t just about preparing for the future, it’s also about fortifying the present. Stay tuned!
@chrisbriem We did something similar about 6 yrs ago when we looked at foreign-born, non-citizen workers in the DC metro area. These folks are pretty critical for many parts of that region's workforce. https://t.co/2BTGAxJsu0
