For Journalists

Latest research available for press

The most press-relevant pieces from the 2026 flagship series. Embargoed previews available on request — write to [email protected].

Flagship · Methodology

The HAPI Index 2026

NWLB's worker-level Human Adaptability and Potential Index — five dimensions, 0–100 score, predictive validity on involuntary job loss, re-employment speed, and wage trajectory.

Brand-defining methodology piece — embargoed methods notes available; clean policy hook.
Flagship · Framework

Who Gets Augmented, Who Gets Replaced

Original 2×2 framework (AI exposure × worker bargaining power) placing 72 occupations into Compounders, Treadmillers, Negotiators, and Casualties.

Original 2×2 framework — embargoed press preview available.
Flagship · Veterans

The Civilian Cliff

Why half of veterans leave their first civilian job — and the four-phase transition playbook (Translation → Placement → Onboarding → Retention) programs like Microsoft MSSA and Amazon Military actually use.

Multiple named cited programs — strong human-interest hook with policy implications.
Flagship · Worker Rights

The Gig Economy Settlement

California Prop 22, the EU Platform Work Directive, Washington's portable benefits, the UK "worker" status — four serious frameworks competing to replace the employee/contractor binary.

Side-by-side policy comparison — built for labor and tech-policy reporters.
Flagship · Mental Health

The Burnout Decade

Why workplace mental-health spending rose 4.5× from 2019 and burnout still rose 11 points. Read against Maslach, ICD-11, and the meditation-app RCTs — plus an honest reallocation budget.

Counterintuitive data hook — multiple peer-reviewed sources cited inline.
Flagship · Women

Women, Work, and the Future

What's left of the gender pay gap is mostly about care, time, and Claudia Goldin's "greedy work" premium. A five-lever framework, country-by-country, with employer moves that don't require waiting for policy.

Cites 2023 Nobel laureate work — strong angle for Equal Pay Day and Women's History Month.
Flagship · Race & Equity

Racial Equity at Work

Where the race-gender gap actually lives — four mechanisms (sorting, hiring, place, within-firm patterns) and the interventions that move each.

Mechanism-by-mechanism breakdown — useful for DEI and labor-economics reporters.
Flagship · Disability

Disability Inclusion at Work

The U.S. 38-point disability employment gap, why it persists, and the four interventions with the strongest evidence base for closing it.

Clear statistical hook — cites BLS and peer-reviewed accommodation studies.

In the Press

Selected coverage

An honest accounting of where NWLB has been cited — and where we expect to be as the 2026 series rolls out.

NWLB is in its third year of operation. Coverage to date has been in trade and workforce-development publications. As the 2026 flagship series rolls out, we expect to be cited in: workforce policy outlets (Work Shift, The HR Director, HBR, Fast Company), labor economics publications (the Economic Policy Institute newsletter, Brookings publications), and AI-and-work coverage (Wired, The Verge, The Information).

This section updates as coverage runs. If you've written about NWLB and we've missed it, let us know at [email protected].
