View in browser December 31, 2022   Editor's note: Thank you for reading the Brookings Brief this year! In this special edition of the newsletter, we take a look back at some of our most-read pieces published in 2022, recently launched podcasts, and a look ahead to 2023. We will return with new research and analysis in your inbox on January 3. 📘 What interested our readers this year. At the top of many people's minds in 2022 was the Russia-Ukraine crisis, including how the war may end and its wide-ranging ramifications. Readers also continued to be concerned about COVID-19, such as the impact of long-COVID on the U.S. labor market, what it will take for students to catch up, and what the pandemic means for overall U.S. population growth.   Additionally, people turned to Brookings to follow issues such as the January 6 hearings, student loan forgiveness, and major policy trends emerging in Africa.   🎧 What we listened to in 2022. This was a big year in podcasting for us! Our experts launched a wide range of new shows on economics, opportunity in Africa, U.S.-China competition, climate change, and rural America. To learn more about our full lineup, check out the Brookings Podcast Network and be sure to follow the shows that interest you.   🗓️ Looking ahead to 2023. The world experienced a lot of economic turbulence this year, and the effects of those developments will likely continue on in the next year. Brookings Economic Studies experts weighed in on what to expect on health care, monetary policy, the labor market, finance, and climate policy.   🎁 Support us as we head into the New Year.
