I recently spoke with Claire Trageser of KPBS News about our work on college labor markets and retaining grads in the San Diego area. This is a great application of our data and local leaders there and in other metro areas can benefit from the insight kpbs.org/news/2022/07/1…

David, Justin, and I are very grateful for the support from Russell Sage Foundation. We look forward to sharing more about this project soon!
