First Quarterly Workforce Indicators for Puerto Rico Provide Demographic Portrait of Island’s Employment Trends
The U.S. Census Bureau and the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership in collaboration with the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER) and the Labor Market Information (LMI) Institute, welcomes Moises Yi as he presents, “First Quarterly Workforce Indicators for Puerto Rico Provide Demographic Portrait of Island’s Employment Trends.”
In late September, the U.S. Census Bureau released the first Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) for Puerto Rico, providing rich demographic profiles of the island’s employment. According to Yi’s findings, the youngest and oldest workers drove Puerto Rico’s employment recovery after Hurricane Maria devastated the island five years ago. This research looks at the recovery through 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic affected employment across the nation.
Moises Yi is an Economist in the Center for Economic Studies, Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) Research Group. Yi’s primary interest is in labor economics topics at the intersection of trace and urban economics. His current research focuses on worker mobility and labor market adjustments in response to trade liberalization. In addition, Yi is interested in topics related to worker reallocation, inequality, and productivity/agglomeration spillovers.
Yi received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2016.
