Unemployment rate is the usual metric to understand the ‘wait’ for employment, but how long someone stays jobless also matters. A new CSE WP by Kannan examines what drives unemployment duration & its impact on re-employment earnings and job type. https://t.co/rxBcqmBwjE🧵(1/7)

With @Radhicka on the need for a pre-employment macroeconomic framework.
Emerging economies like #India face a double challenge: grow fast & create decent jobs. The new Employment in Focus article highlights how pro-employment macro policies- strategic spending, job multipliers, & labour-aware monetary frameworks- can deliver inclusive development.

From my wonderful colleague and deep scholar of religion. Please read!
All books are a journey for the author, but some become a form of pilgrimage. What began as a course on religion in India for a bunch of interdisciplinary undergraduates in India turned into this Oxford India Short Introduction. Available in bookstores a few weeks from now

You can now see the history of sell orders that have been filled. Every transaction you see is USDC being sent to someone with a sell order, and "filled" designates that the person's full order is now complete with that transaction. (We may changed the wording to order complete).
