@OS_Mitchell Kudos. Very well deserved!

I couldn't be prouder for our @uscensusbureau colleague @ErikaMcentarfer who's been nominated to be the next @BLS_gov Commissioner. The Center for Economic Studies will now be able to claim both the Census Deputy Director and the BLS Commissioner! Not too shabby.

@jarmin_ron Thanks everyone. I am deeply honored to be the first recipient of the prize named for Eddie Lazear, whom I knew and admired for his entire career. He founded JOLE and SOLE, to promote an open and diverse community that shared his passion for labor economics. Stunning successes!
