Lecture Title: "Recessions, Automation and Recent College Graduates"

How has the Great Recession impacted firms’ adoption of new technology? To what extent have skill requirements for jobs changed since the onset of the Great Recession? Join the USC Economics Association for a distinguished lecture with Dr. Lisa Kahn, in which she will discuss changes in automation and skill requirements in the American labor market, and how these changes will impact college graduates within the next few years.

Professor Lisa Kahn is a Professor of Economics at the University of Rochester. Her research focuses on labor economics with interests in organizations and education. Her most recent work uses data on job vacancy postings to examine whether the Great Recession accelerated technological change, exacerbating polarization of the U.S. economy. She was previously an associate professor of economics at the Yale School of Management. From 2010 to 2011 Kahn served on President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers as the senior economist for labor and education policy. She holds an A.B. in economics from the University of Chicago (2003) and an M.A. and a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University (2008).
