Wow. This is wild.
Researchers from Columbia, Michigan, and Maryland released VRscores.
VRscores is a dataset linking voter registrations to online worker profiles that allow you to measure the partisan leanings of U.S. employers.
24.5M workers. 500k employers. 2012–2024.
This project was a multi-year collaboration with @ReubenHurst2 and @JustinFrake.

Finally, our paper on the pervasiveness of corporate fraud is in print. It has a simple, but important, result: On average 10% of large publicly traded firms commit a relevant fraud every year, costing equityholders $830 billion a year. https://t.co/fn3QrgVDNF
