Robert Sockin, chief US economist at PGIM, says the US economy needs two more rate hikes at a minimum and that “the broader direction is up” for interest rates even if the Federal Reserve does not move at this month’s meeting bloom.bg/4hMtf7L

Curious why job seekers turn down job offers after EASY interviews? We use ~500K interview reports plus a field experiment to show interview difficulty signals to workers whether the job is a good fit. Check out the fantastic @JSockin's talk from NBER ORG Econ (w/ @ellliottt).

🚨1/N Really excited to announce a new working paper, “Interviews” 🚨 We demonstrate that interviews allow workers to screen firms and preview whether the job is a good match for them—using ~500k Glassdoor reports + a randomized field experiment. 🧵

Finally had a chance to read this excellent paper. Limitations on data and methods have thus far kept us from understanding what actually happens at the interview stage of the job market. It looks like signaling is really happening in both directions, with both workers/firms using interviews to eval fit.

If you’re at or near U of Toronto on Nov 12, please try to catch the fantastic @JSockin talking about “Interviews” (joint w/ @ellliottt). We show that the difficulty of the interview signals to workers whether the job is a good fit.

Perhaps the future of hiring is not AI, but a dating app... In ~10 days my fantastic co-author @JSockin presents our paper “Interviews” (with @ellliottt) at @nberpubs. We show candidates walk away when an interview feels “too easy”—they assume the firm would hire anyone.

Our paper is out as a CEPR Working Paper, but there’s a paywall. Please use the freely downloadable version on SSRN (which links to CESifo). [link in reply]

Attending NBER SI? At 10:35am tomorrow, @JSockin will present our work with @ellliottt and me showing how your interview process shapes how job seekers form perceptions of you as an employer. These impressions can impact everything from offer acceptance to employee retention!

Do firms have an incentive to comply with the federal minimum wage? Based on current penalties and enforcement, the answer for most firms is *no*. My paper now out in ILRR - also featuring newly FOIA-ed case level data on DOL min wage enforcement outcomes
ILR Review@ILRReview26 Nov 2024
How can minimum wage non-compliance be countered with good policy? Using the case of the US and the UK, @annastansbury @MITSloan @MIT_IWER argues that improved enforcement alone is insufficient and expected penalties must increase substantially. doi.org/10.1177/001979392412…

Workers in employee-owned firms are more satisfied with their jobs. Study based on 200,000 employee reviews in U.S. manufacturing sector finds higher satisfaction with culture, leadership, career opportunities, and work-life balance in firms with ESOPs. 👇newsroom.iza.org/en/archive/…
