So now that I'm at Brookings this blog (for the forseeable future) will just point to my research on the Brookings site.  In that regard, I'm happy to report that I've put out my first piece at Brookings--a brief post on our group blog that finds a longer-term problem with labor markets predating the recession.  Enjoy, and thanks for your interest!  http://www.brookings.edu/opinions/2011/0909_jobs_winship.aspx
