The labor market is reorganizing at a pace that outstrips workers’ ability to adapt. “The skills that companies are saying they want in job postings are just not the way people are representing themselves,” says Warren Center affiliate Eric Bradlow.
Welcome to the ‘skills mismatch economy’: The shift from roles to skills is making your résumé—and your job title—worthless | Fortune
Wharton and Accenture partnered on a huge “skills index” that crunched data on 100 million job postings. They found a “striking and persistent disconnect.”

Reproducibility and open science are great, but they don't necessarily equate to rigor. You can perfectly share a study and still draw weak conclusions. True rigor lives in the questions we ask, the designs we choose, and the inferences we make.

Commenting on the concept of common sense, Duncan Watts said that people aren’t born with it.
“You learn it, usually from your parents and other people around you. And the way you learn it is just by being told things over and over again,” he said.

I’m honored and humbled to give a plenary talk at ACIC this year with such an impressive group of speakers.
January is almost over, which means conference season planning is in full swing! If causal inference is your thing—and it should be—join us at the ACIC
The American Causal Inference Conference is coming to Salt Lake City, May 11-14, and it’d be great to see some of you there!
