The Impact of Certifications on Earnings Across States and Occupations
|
|
|
|
|
|
For workers adapting to changing economic conditions, non-degree credentials can help with retraining and gaining new skill sets. But do these non-degree credentials also increase earnings? Very little information has been available regarding the relevant earnings outcomes (we know much more about earnings from degrees). Utilizing micro-data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the LMI Institute aims to improve our understanding of the value of licenses and certifications for earnings potential. Read the full post here.

COVID-19 Changes the Way Government Collects Data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attention has focused on how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the decennial census, especially on census takers making home visits as part of the traditional enumeration process. Several BLS data sets also rely on in person surveys to reliably produce critical information. For instance, 90% of the Producer Price Index, 51% of the Occupational Requirements Survey, and 35% of the initial enrollment of the National Compensation Survey are typically conducted in person. The pandemic disrupted these collection efforts, but BLS adapted by shifting in-person visits to telephone calls or using sources such as credit card transactions and company websites.

A recent Wall Street Journal article, How Covid-19 Changed the Way Government Collects Data, discusses this more. It includes comments from LMI Institute board member Michael Horrigan, President of the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. We also want to acknowledge the efforts of all LMI Institute members as they have adapted to the pandemic and continue to deliver valuable information to decisionmakers and the public. Read More
