You thought I'd forgotten, didn't you! Well, yes. I did forget. But in my defense, it's because I've been so busy catching up on B-SPAN's June 19 rush that I hadn't had a chance to take a wider view of the month. Our podcast this month focuses on the Presidential Fellows Lecture Series, featuring Mr. Anwar Ibrahim, the former Deputy Minister of Malaysia. I picked it for the podcast because it's a high-profile event for our internal audience. But the event that I've enjoyed the most this month has been Rethinking the Role of Jobs for Shared Growth, which I just posted today. Parts of it are dry, but the central topic often under discussion--that is to say, the contrast between "good jobs" and "bad jobs" as opposed to a focus only on employment rates--is interesting for both the developing world and our own employment situation.
