Some professional news!!! I'm beyond excited to join @USDOL as a fellow working for the Chief Economist. I'm honored and thrilled to continue working on labor market outcomes, an equitable economic recovery, and building worker power.

I’m in full denial about leaving DC (moving? In two weeks?) but beyond excited for this next chapter. If anyone is ever in Princeton and wants to get coffee please reach out!

[Asha Banerjee @AshaBanerjee]

yesterday was my last day in the chief economists office @USDOL !! I’m so excited to be starting my PhD this fall at Princeton’s interdisciplinary program in Population Studies and Social Policy. Can’t wait to keep working on labor, economic mobility, and inequality 🎉

[Asha Banerjee @AshaBanerjee]

I’ve learned so much from my colleagues @USDOL and prior @EconomicPolicy @CLASP_DC. I’ve been so lucky I got to work with people not only smart and passionate but who truly see the people, stories, and history beneath data and ec policies. It’s made me a better researcher.

@hshierholz @EconomicPolicy @USDOL Thank you so much Heidi!!! I’m so lucky I got to work with such awesome people at EPI 😭😍

[Asha Banerjee @AshaBanerjee]

I'm really going to miss my fantastic colleagues @EconomicPolicy. It's been a blast working with such phenomenal researchers at EPI. I've learned so much and am really proud of the work I did while there😍

At a loss for words though we knew it was coming. The jaw dropping misogyny, denial of autonomy and dignity, and the soulless need to control and subjugate. I wrote this piece just over a month ago and hate to have to revisit it on this day.

My latest for @EconomicPolicy on abortion, the economics of control, and how this fits the long project of worker disempowerment in the 26 states ready to ban abortion after Roe. Take a read! https://t.co/As8W99ZG5H

And check out our recent report on higher wages for child care workers @EconomicPolicy @eliselgould @sawo_ma https://t.co/V7BXPGl2xz

[Asha Banerjee @AshaBanerjee]

Really excited to be quoted in this fantastic @voxdotcom piece on the absolute mess that is our child care system ⬇️

[Vox @voxdotcom]

The reality of being a child care provider in America is bleak: Day care centers are shuttering, and providers are fleeing for new jobs. What will happen to the future of work without them?

Expanded UI and state funds for non-UI eligible workers have all ended even as thousands still need the support. See my new op-ed on how expanding UI to ALL workers should be part of NY's economic recovery ⬇️

OPINION | Excluded workers need more help

Make them eligible for unemployment insurance, writes @AshaBanerjee.
