Abstract
Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (“BLS”) data on industry employment, I quantify the effect on telecommunications jobs of the Obama Administration’s regulatory revival in telecommunications using the difference-in-differences (“DiD”) estimator. I find that over the period 2010-2016, the telecommunications sector lost approximately 100,000 jobs per year.
