Labor Economics Hub

A public reference for cohort participants—three standalone sections you can link in internal briefings. Not a live data service; values are illustrative.

A

Wage tracker framing

When posting wage trends, pair every level with: source, cohort definition, and top-coding note. Below is a schematic of how we expect filters to stack—no live numbers here.

Desk with keyboard and printed labor statistics summary

B

Policy compare

Use a three-column matrix when comparing active labor programs. Score each cell: evidence strength (H/M/L), implementation cost (H/M/L), and time to observe outcomes (short/medium/long).

Program	Evidence	Cost	Horizon
Training voucher	M	M	medium
Hiring credit	L–M	H	short
Public works	M	M	short

C

Workforce glossary (short)

Stock vs. flow: Stock is a level at a date; flow is per period. Mixing them causes headline errors.
Monopsony: Employer wage-setting power; evidence needs market definition, not anecdotes alone.
Replacement demand: Hiring to refill roles; distinct from expansion hiring or turnover rate alone.
Top-coding: Capping high values; changes distribution moments—disclose when relevant.
