Guy Berger is someone I had the good fortune of overlapping with at Bank of America. Over the years, Guy has become my go-to resource for all questions on the labor market. After many years as the Principal Economist at LinkedIn, he is now the Director of Research at the Burning Glass Institute, a research outfit focusing on labor market trends.
Here, we go through many of the hot topics on the labor market as it pertains to business/market economics: the gap between the Household and Establishment Survey, how important are revisions to the data, what’s the impact of immigration on the employment data, and much more.
We hope you enjoy our conversation. - Laat meer zien
