Joined EALE to save a bit on submitting to Labour Economics, which involves emailing an Elsevier inbox to get a code to enter instead of paying the submission fee, which is kind of a silly mechanism, and also no one seems to be monitoring the inbox? Anyone else have this experience?
A few cool things about this project: Every administration since W Bush has made changes to overtime rules. None of these changes have addressed how the content of your job related to OT eligibility, in part because that's hard to measure. Now we have new measurement tools!

Anybody know any econ of education journals that take short papers?
Some professional news: today is my last day with @equitablegrowth.bsky.social I’m excited to be joining @clevelandfed.bsky.social as a senior research economist on Monday. Also excited to be back in Cleveland in time to see the @cleguardians.com try to chase down the Tigers.
Anybody around DC have any use for some old econ textbooks? Or know of an institution that might?
