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, welcome Joshua Bleiberg, as he presents, “Exploring Inequitable Trends in Education Staff Turnover.” Educator labor markets vary considerably across the country and can change quickly during recessions. Utilizing data from the Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) on educators in Elementary and Secondary Schools from 2000-01 to 2022-23, Bleiberg demonstrates how to transform the quarter-level data in the QWI to construct valid educator labor market measures.

Joshua Bleiberg is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and former Senior Research Associate and Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the Annenberg Institution.

His research focuses on using quasi-experimental methods to examine state and federal education policies. In recent research Joshua has examined the causal effects of national standards-based reforms (e.g., NCLB, Common Core, ESEA Waivers) on academically vulnerable students using the National Assessment of Education Progress.

Joshua received his Ph.D. in Leadership and Policy studies at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College. He has a master’s degree in education policy and management from Harvard University in Cambridge, MA and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Joshua also holds a Childhood education teacher certification in New York.
