Student Tip: Get involved in professional societies. Why? Joining professional societies and volunteering on committees is an easy way expand your network. Also, most societies are eager to get students more involved, but few do!

UPDATE: What happens after the Census Bureau finds significant undercounts of Black people, Latinos and Native Americans in the 2020 census?
There are calls to adjust population estimates that guide funding, reimagine how to count in 2030 and maybe sue.

BREAKING: 27 times more men than women joined the labor force in January.
Today's #JobsReport signals that men have recovered ALL of their losses since the start of this pandemic, while women now make up all labor force leavers since February 2020.

NEW: If a county's 2020 census results appear to be off by 4 people, it's likely the result of the new differential privacy protections, and if it seems to be off by a lot more, it's likely the result of over/undercounting, Census Bureau research suggests
