🚨There is a lot of policy movement to expand career & technical Ed but little evidence of what to expect from such expansion. Our WP provides evidence from MA on take up & ➕impacts in the first 5 yrs after HS. #cte
📢 #EdWorkingPapers: @yerinyoon.bsky.social and @doughesm.bsky.social show that in Massachusetts, CTE expansion increased participation by 11.5% and improved early employment for Black or Hispanic students and earnings for male students.

Allowing students to use Pell Grants for short-term occupational training:
- increased their use of such training but
- did not benefit their employment or earnings.
Great to see a high-quality evaluation of a promising policy idea. Good to know!

Not that econ JMCs need more things to worry about, but there was a very poorly timed hiring freeze in 2017. It came down during flyout season and really threw off the market for people interested in government work. Think about your preferences and alternatives while there’s still time.
Elon and Vivek will come up with some wild suggestions for shrinking the government, some of which at least a few Republicans will want to implement via the budget.
But my guess is that most federal workforce cuts are going to come via hiring freezes and attrition.
