She was integral to the subsequent establishment of the Longitudinal Employer–Household Dynamics (LEHD) program at the U.S. Census Bureau. [9] The program,which links employer and employee data for labor market research,became a permanent federal initiative. She left American University for the Urban Institute in order to fully establish the initiative,in 2000 and,she served as Director of the Employment Dynamics Program at the Urban Institute until 2004.
