More generally, there’s a lot more use that could and should be made of admin data. For a consideration (using RTI microdata) see escoe-website.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/u...

This doesn’t detract from the main point of the @resfoundation.bsky.social paper but does highlight differences by data source that existed even before 2020.

Really interesting analysis - policymakers need accurate information and admin data offers obvious advantages (and disadvantages).
Surprised by Fig 2 though, since graphing published series of *employee* jobs (below) shows more employees under the RTI definition than with LFS.

Here are UK & US BlueSky numbers separately, to show what’s driving the trends:

β€’ Aug 3rd: Musk says β€˜civil war is inevitable’ in UK during far right riots

β€’ Oct 17th: Musk changes the block function on X, prompting a massive exodus

β€’ Nov 7th: thousands more migrate in aftermath of Trump victory

Finally relocating and looking for people to follow. Main interests are in labour supply and the school-to-work transition. Methods too - randomised trials, quasi experiments, survival analysis - and data. More recently, self-employment and using machine learning for heterogeneous effects.
