During his time at the BLS, he worked extensively on developing and enhancing the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) and the Business Employment Dynamics (BED) data. He is part of a team that developed and maintains the Job Search Supplement of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE), an extensive survey on individuals’ job search and job finding outcomes. He has also taught adjunct at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business and the University of Maryland, College Park.
