Nullspace: Long weekends - shorter memories

http://nullspace2.blogspot.com/2015/05/long-weekends-shorter-memories.html

Reliquum est, silentium. Saturday, May 23, 2015. Long weekends - shorter memories. These days, I suspect many conflate and confuse the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day, which are not the same thing. For more explanation you can read about the difference between the two holidays. If you want to use the long weekend for what it was intended for, take some time to visit Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall. Which is open for visitors on both Saturday and Memorial Day.

Nullspace: Is Downtown dying?

http://nullspace2.blogspot.com/2012/08/is-downtown-dying.html

Reliquum est, silentium. Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Which is all a disclaimer before looking at the latest data out from the Census Bureau's Zip Code Business patterns. Program. One perpetual question here is what is happening Downtown? The Zip Code data is for jobs by. But that is what you want to look at Downtown. Most often when you see employment data reported in the news it is a count by place of. So what do the jobs downtown pay. The same ZBP data also has good data on payrolls. So here is t...This ...

Nullspace: Obamacare and Pittsburgh

http://nullspace2.blogspot.com/2015/06/obamacare-and-pittsburgh.html

Reliquum est, silentium. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Just a question for someone else to try and answer. but fivethirtyeight.com says: The Supreme Court’s Obamacare Decision Is Already Worth $3 Billion For Insurers. Begs a Pittsburgh question. What is the Obamacare decision worth to Pittsburgh's economy? Maybe a bit more holistically. What will the Affordable Care Act mean to the Pittsburgh economy in the long run? Seems like one of those things someone should have looked at by now? In terms of the ACA and im...

Nullspace: Parsing data on H1B Visa's

http://nullspace2.blogspot.com/2015/07/parsing-data-on-h1b-visas.html

Reliquum est, silentium. Monday, July 20, 2015. Parsing data on H1B Visa's. If you ever wanted to parse H1B Visa data, there is no need. It's been done. See: What will America pay for H1-B Jobs. By Nilesh Jethwa. on the Data Science Central blog. The post looks like it was from a while ago but was tweeted about today. And I've never seen that data parsed in detail before. Now I know where to direct questions I get on that. Note the i nteractive US Map. Armstrong - No data. Et ils sont vraiment. Des artis...

Nullspace: Pittsburgh manufacturing

http://nullspace2.blogspot.com/2015/07/pittsburgh-manufacturing.html

Reliquum est, silentium. Wednesday, July 08, 2015. Pittsburgh manufacturing is in the news today. See: PBT for example Why Pittsburgh will be getting a boost in its manufacturing efforts. A factoid I missed in the latest jobs report, but if you do the division it turns out that for the Pittsburgh region, the percentage of jobs in manufacturing industries has dropped to a new all-time low. Early on, manufacturing jobs had seen some slight rebound locally, and an even bigger and steady rebound nationally.

Nullspace: Tough times in the T

http://nullspace2.blogspot.com/2015/07/tough-times-in-t.html

Reliquum est, silentium. Thursday, July 02, 2015. Tough times in the T. Here is another look at what is happening to mining jobs in Pennsylvania. One recently under-appreciated headline is about the potential loss of 400 jobs at a shale services company in Indiana, PA. Trib: Halliburton to close Indiana County office. And by my eyeballing of that list, the 7th largest private sector employer. So a big deal. It would be like a single firm dropping 10K jobs in Allegheny County. So again I'll put up what I ...
