📊 Reduction in Data Breaches & Key Labor Market Statistics

 


The latest statistics from the Office of the Data Protection Authority (ODPA) reveal a positive trend in data security. High-risk personal data breaches dropped in the second quarter of 2025, with only 8 self-reported cases, compared to 14 in the first quarter.

While the total number of breaches remained steady at around 50, the most common issue continued to be information sent to the wrong email address. One notable case involved medical details shared verbally with a family member, where authorisation was unclear. The ODPA emphasized that paper authorisation should be prioritized when sharing sensitive information with third parties.

On the economic front, the labor market remains a key focus in statistics. Job openings and unemployment figures provide critical insights into the balance between labor supply and demand. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), comparing job openings with unemployment figures helps measure labor market tightness.

For instance, a Job Openings-to-Unemployed Ratio above 1 signals more vacancies than job seekers, showing strong demand for workers, while a lower ratio indicates potential slowdowns. These insights are essential for policymakers, businesses, and researchers, helping shape decisions on employment policies, wage growth, and skill development programs.

Data experts race to preserve US government statistics amid quiet purges

Image
                                                After watching data sets be altered or disappear from U.S. government websites in unprecedented ways after President Donald Trump began his second term, an army of outside statisticians, demographers and computer scientists have joined forces to capture, preserve and share data sets, sometimes clandestinely. "There are trillions of bytes of data files, and I can't even imagine how many public dollars were spent to collect those data. ... But right now, they're sitting someplace that is inaccessible because there are no staff to appropriately manage those data," Jennifer Park, a study director for the Committee on National Statistics, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, said during the conference hosted by the Association of Public Data Users (APDU). Their goal is to make sure they are available in t...

  Best Statistical Tools, Statistical analysis is a crucial part of research, and statistical tools can streamline the process by helping researchers interpret the data in a simpler format. Here's the list of best statistical tools. 1. R In data analytics, R stands out among the top open-source statistical tools. Researchers in statistics use it. It provides high-quality toolboxes that can be used for many different things. The learning curve for the open-source programming language R is steep. R programming provides an efficient data handling and storage facility. R also has the best set available for array calculations. Thanks to its graphical tools for analysis, data visualization is another area where R shines. It is an all-inclusive high-level programming language with various functions, conditional loops, and decision expressions 2. Python Python is a versatile language with statistics modules. Its versatility and depth make it an excellent choice for creating analysis pipeli...

Trump Gets Rid of Those Pesky Statistics

Image
  For decades, Donald Trump has been at war with numbers. Some have capitulated more swiftly than others. His weight, his golf scores, and his net worth have long fallen in line. As I understand it, a Trump doctor appointment consists of going to a medical professional and announcing how much you would like to weigh and what your resting heart rate ought to be, and the wise doctor’s patriotic, good equipment cooperates to measure you correctly. (I have tried this myself without success. My scale is not a true patriot.) Mean, wicked scales that display unflattering numbers, and foolish, incompetent golf balls that do not traverse the correct distance, are promptly discarded and replaced with their more loyal counterparts. This is how value works! As Trump testified once in court, “My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with the markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings … Yes, even my own feelings, as to where the world is, where the world is...
