In August, the Ray Marshall Center welcomed new research associate Benjamin E. Moulton. Moulton is primarily working on the Texas Child Care Market Rate Survey project but will also contribute to other quantitative analyses for other projects. The Center has been conducting statewide child care market rate surveys since 2003. Results of the annual surveys are provided to Local Workforce Development Boards who manage the federal child care program in Texas so that they have reliable, up-to-date data to help them determine maximum reimbursement rates.
Prior to joining the Ray Marshall Center, Moulton worked as the director of information systems for a contract policy research company in northern Virginia, where he performed quantitative analytical and database construction work for the company. He has also served as a statistics lecturer in the sociology department at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as a contract SAS programmer. Moulton holds a BA and MA from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as a Ph.D. in sociology with a concentration in mortality from the University of Texas at Austin. He is also a certified SAS programmer.
