🚨 New paper alert: Exclusionary political rhetoric alone can drive people to leave their hometowns

In Poland, anti-LGBTQ resolutions by 100 local governments caused a rise in migration intentions, reflected in job search

Here’s what @jangromadzki.bsky.social and I found: 🧵

New IZA paper by @jangromadzki.bsky.social and @paweladrjan.bsky.social shows anti-LGBTQ resolutions in Poland increased migration intentions. Their findings nicely echo our own (osf.io/preprints/os...) from the same case: even symbolic exclusionary politics can shape people’s choices on the ground.

Anti-LGBTQ resolutions aka "LGBT-free zones" in Poland have increased residents’ intentions to migrate, both within the country and abroad. Together with @paweladrjan.bsky.social, we use unique data on all clicks on the global job site Indeed.

Thanks to the shutdown, we didn't get the first estimate of Q3 GDP today. And private-sector data offer no good substitute for official GDP.

The shutdown offers lots of lessons about what private sector data can and can't do.

What the government shutdown teaches us about private sector data
The government shutdown provides an unexpected test case for an increasingly urgent question: What would happen if official economic statistics became less useful, whether through declining resources,...

2-3 days a week in the office has become the norm in hybrid job postings. Attendance requirements have tightened over the last few years, but there's no evidence of any significant shift beyond 3 days in the office.

Europe's labour markets are converging, as hiring demand is strong in the South while falling in the North.

As of late August, job postings in Spain are 46% and Italy 53% above pre-pandemic levels.

Is working from home just a pandemic blip? Not according to the data.

We analysed 1 billion job postings in 20 OECD countries.

The share of jobs advertising remote/hybrid work quadrupled from 2.5% to 11% (2019–2023) and has been stable since

The Indeed Wage Tracker is now live for #Japan 🇯🇵

Posted #wages in Japan rose 3.6% year-over-year in April 2025, based on a 3-month average.

This represents moderation from a recent peak of over 4% but it's still higher than anytime from 2019 to early 2024.

📉 New job posting data shows a growing North-South divide in Europe’s labour market as of mid-April:

🇪🇸 Spain up 4% in the past month, now 65% above pre-pandemic levels
🇮🇹 Italy high & holding steady
🇩🇪 Germany & 🇬🇧 UK sliding

No crash anywhere (yet) but a continued divergence

Excited to share that my paper with Reamonn Lydon is now published in Research in Labor Economics!

Main insights:

✅ Online job postings offer timely insights into wage trends

✅ Post-pandemic wage growth surged, especially for lower-paid jobs — signalling strong labour demand

Today’s JOLTS report was reasonably good!

- Job openings ticked up to 7.7 million (from 7.4).
- The quits rate rose for the first time in 17 months.
- Layoff rate = 1.0 -> Below pre-pandemic all-time lows.

Hires rate weak at 3.3%, but could be a blip given slight pickup in recent months.

🚨New research🚨

Official labour market data has ‘lost’ almost a million workers and is over-stating the scale of Britain’s economic inactivity challenge.

I've always thought of #France as a country particularly fixated on formal diplomas. But French employers are gradually placing less emphasis on degrees in job postings. Is this a shift towards valuing #skills over formal #qualifications?
