Recent research by Institute economist Brad Hershbein (with Lisa Kahn of Yale University) is featured in The Atlantic CityLab (October 26) and the Washington Post Wonkblog (October 28). Both columns discuss how "upskilling" occurred during the Great Recession and why it may be harder to land a job now than before the downturn.
The research discussed is included in "Do Recessions Accelerate Routine-Biased Technological Change? Evidence from Vacancy Postings," by Brad Hershbein and Lisa Kahn.
