Mentoring: It ’s In Our Genes
Anyone who’s spent time in an academic science lab has probably heard about lab culture. Many labs boast long, rigorous working hours, while others require graduate students and postdoctoral trainees (postdocs) to meet often-unattainable experiment quotas each week. But is sheer quantity really the gold standard we want to hold ourselves to when it comes to training the next generation of scientists?

Only 45 Percent of Employment ‐Based Green Cards Went to Workers in 2021
Alex NowrastehThe immigration system of the United States favors family reunification even in the so-called employment-based (EB) green card categories. Under current interpretations of U.S. immigration law, family members of immigrant workers must use EB green cards. The American system isn ’t unusual as Japan is the onlyOECD country with more immigrant workers than immigrant family members. Still, the difference is larger in the United States than in other countries. Instead of a separate green card category for the spouses and children of workers, those family members get a green card thatwould otherwise have gone to ...

More Labor Market Margins of Adjustment
Ryan BourneMany people worry about the existence of labor market outcomes such as low pay, the absence of business family leave policies, or gender pay gaps. A typical response is to demand the government pass laws to ban these outcomes, or else to mandate business practices that avoid them. This is thought to help the affected workers.In a recent Cato book chapter, I explained that things rarely work out so simply. Profit‐making businesses find new ways to make up for higher labor costs or the diminished flexibility imposed upon them as new mandates are passed down. Some cut employment or hiring levels. But rec...

USCIS Will Charge $3,000/Hour To Process Work Authorization under New Rule
David J. BierU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)is proposing to significantly increase its fees to process various immigration ‐related applications. The agency is largely funded through applicant fees, and the fees are supposed to reflect the cost of processing an application. Along with the new fees, thefederal register notice details the time that USCIS adjudicators spend reviewing each application. This is not the processing times that applicants spend waiting for someone to look at their application. Instead, this is how long it takes an adjudicator to issue a decision on an application from the t...

Unfair to care: understanding the social care 2022 —23 pay gap and how to close it
This report finds that social care workers would need a 41 per cent pay rise – equalling £8,036 – to have parity with their direct equivalents within the NHS – Band 3 Healthcare Assistants.
