Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Rothwell is a Principal Economist at Gallup and a nonresident Senior Fellow at Brookings who leverages nearly a decade of experience translating large-scale survey and administrative data into policy-relevant insights on education, labor markets, entrepreneurship, and youth mental health. He combines rigorous academic training (PhD, Princeton) with public-facing writing—including peer-reviewed work in Nature Communications Psychology, contributions to the New York Times Upshot, and a Princeton University Press book—to shape debates on social mobility, parenting science, and college quality. Known for blending macroeconomic analysis with granular regional and demographic investigation, he has produced influential studies on trade impacts, subjective job quality, and asset valuation in Black neighborhoods. Jonathan also advises clients on survey design and economic strategy, bringing a practitioner’s eye to measurement problems and a consistent track record of media engagement and conference presentation. An unexpected thread through his work is a sustained focus on how family environments and parenting practices interact with broader economic forces to affect long-term social outcomes.
