Face Facts: The Sad Truth About Measuring Happiness
Why are some people happier than others? The results of happiness surveys are more than a favorite internet trending topic — happiness scales could also have profound impacts on public policy, says Timothy Bond.
By now, you’ve likely noticed the impact of the current labor shortage leaving all of us to wonder where the workers went. Hoosier economists including Krannert's Timothy Bond say the virus caused long-term impacts on the country’s workforce and recovery
will be a slow process.
Turns out we don’t really know how to measure happiness As Purdue economist Timothy Bond and coauthor Kevin Lang point out in a study published in the Journal of Political Economy last year, the way people feel happiness is inherently subjective, so surveys that ask people to rate their own happiness will be
always be flawed.
Purdue University livestreams panels on COVID-19 supply chain disruptions and economic implications Professors in the Krannert School of Management and College of Agriculture at Purdue University participated in an hourlong panel discussion and Q&A on May 18 about the disruptions to supply chains caused by COVID-19 and implications for consumers. Earlier
in May, three Krannert faculty affiliates from the Purdue University Research Center in Economics (PURCE) hosted a Facebook Live event on the economic implications of COVID-19.
Pay cuts, layoffs hit white-collar workers, too, says Purdue economist Unemployment is becoming more common among white-collar workers as the wave of layoffs and pay cuts that first ravaged the service industry in mid-March start to erode management, upper-level and even executive jobs, says Purdue economist Timothy Bond.
“It’s going to trickle up, eventually."
Tippecanoe County is facing historic levels of unemployment Like the rest of the United States, Tippecanoe County has been hit hard by unemployment caused by the COVID-19 crisis. As many companies temporarily halt operations, recently laid-off or furloughed workers still have opportunities to advance their careers,
education and finances, according to Purdue career and personal finance experts.
Trend of younger people not working contributes to tight labor market, says Purdue economist Employers are having problems finding workers, and low unemployment is the reason why. Nationally, unemployment is at 3.7 %, the lowest it's been in decades. Fast-food jobs, for example, have often relied on teenagers to fill some of their positions, but
experts say trends show teenagers aren't participating in the workforce the way they use to. "It’s going to be harder to find people at entry levels and it's going to be harder to find people at the higher levels as well,” says Timothy Bond, an associate professor
of economics at Purdue.
