Have you heard much about economists losing their positions? If the CFPB gets axed, that's gonna be a lot of economists looking for work, but besides that I'm not sure how much the other agencies on the chopping block employ economists.

I haven't heard of any of the statistical agencies being in the cross-hairs. I know economists who have lost USAID grants, but they aren't losing their employment at the moment. I imagine some of the USAID and IRS people are economists, though.

You kinda already have a part-time job creating weekly "fun facts" for me.
I paid you 2% last week. I plan to quadruple your payout this week. :p
