  Face Facts: The sad truth about measuring happiness

  We are fascinated by happiness, that elusive life goal. Why are some people — and entire countries — happier than others? The results of happiness surveys are more than a favorite internet trending topic, however. According to a recent study co-authored by Tim Bond, an associate professor of economics at the Krannert School of Management and a faculty affiliate of the Purdue University Research Center in Economics, happiness scales could also have profound impact on public policy.

  Hoosier economists explain reasons behind labor shortage

  Turns out we don’t really know how to measure happiness
  As Purdue economist Timothy Bond and coauthor Kevin Lang point out in a study published in the Journal of Political Economy last year, the way people feel happiness is inherently subjective, so surveys that ask people to rate their own happiness will be always be flawed.
• Purdue University livestreams panels on COVID-19 supply chain disruptions and economic implications
  Professors in the Krannert School of Management and College of Agriculture at Purdue University participated in an hourlong panel discussion and Q&A on May 18 about the disruptions to supply chains caused by COVID-19 and implications for consumers.

  Pay cuts, layoffs hit white-collar workers, too, says Purdue economist
  Unemployment is becoming more common among white-collar workers as the wave of layoffs and pay cuts that first ravaged the service industry in mid-March start to erode management, upper-level and even executive jobs, says Purdue economist Timothy Bond. “It’s going to trickle up, eventually."

  Tippecanoe County is facing historic levels of unemployment
  Like the rest of the United States, Tippecanoe County has been hit hard by unemployment caused by the COVID-19 crisis. As many companies temporarily halt operations, recently laid-off or furloughed workers still have opportunities to advance their careers, education and finances, according to Purdue career and personal finance experts.

  Purdue economists: Americans unemployed due to COVID-19 lockdowns could be slow to return to work
  The COVID-19 pandemic has paused the United States economy and resulted in historic levels of unemployment, and it’s unclear how easily the light switch can be turned back on, say Purdue University economists who specialize in public policy and labor markets.

  Trend of younger people not working contributes to tight labor market, says Purdue economist
  Employers are having problems finding workers, and low unemployment is the reason why. Nationally, unemployment is at 3.7 %, the lowest it's been in decades. Fast-food jobs, for example, have often relied on teenagers to fill some of their positions, but experts say trends show teenagers aren't participating in the workforce the way they use to. "It’s going to be harder to find people at entry levels and it's going to be harder to find people at the higher levels as well,” says Timothy Bond, an associate professor of economics at Purdue.
