Great comments from @robsatloff and others from @washingtonInst on the first phase of the Israel-Gaza agreement:

Insightful article by @HolzerHarry about policies to improve skills, wages, and jobs. In particular, I've been puzzling over how/whether to incentivize "high road employers," which Harry discusses. https://t.co/fGNX6nrMlL

Elevating race and gender identity far above working-class cares and politics has been disastrous for the Dems:

America needs robust programs to train workers for high-paying jobs through: (1) workforce programs at community colleges; (2) other private or nonprofit training providers; and (3) work-based learning models like apprenticeships. @HolzerHarry in TLP https://t.co/lVrEGm4ngl

New National Academy of Sciences report on how the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit can reduce child poverty (and did so heavily in 2021): https://t.co/FJ5T8Q0VGL

Clip and save:

This morning, the @chicagofed introduced new labor market indicators that combine private sector data with official labor statistics to provide a real-time view of hiring, layoffs and other job separations, and an early forecast of the unemployment rate. https://t.co/iln1LpPNAr.

New National Academies report on using the EITC and Child Tax Credit to reduce child poverty: https://t.co/xuHnwgj2Wi Report released on Thursday and webinar 2-3 pm

Still the best paper on effects of H1B by John Bound and his colleagues: https://t.co/ebtXLln8Nj Trump's new fees on H1b might protect employment for Ameicans in the industry but will hurt consumers and slow innovation - just like his tariffs.

I disagree a bit with Michael on this. Unemployment is slowly ticking up, vacancies are ticking down, job losses and long-term unemp are rising....as well as dropping consumer sentiment - signs of weakening demand and not just labor supply/immigration effects

Happy to see @Will_PPI piece in the Hill today calling for a new economic message from Dems, including a focus on "better skills and jobs" among other sensible ideas: https://t.co/5kciW8Xffx

I will speak tomorrow at an event on AI and the job market, sponsored by Notre Dame's Keough School and Americans for Responsible Innovation, and based on a report that I helped coauthor: https://t.co/7Sf4d3kxoQ

Here is my new policy brief for the Scholars Strategy Network on How to Protect Workers in the Age of AI: https://t.co/0DaIhR1Niv

Informative Comments from Harvard's Tom Kane on why reading scores have declined so much:

.@HolzerHarry: "Donald Trump’s long-run effects on our economic growth will matter much more over time; and it is here, in effects that usually don’t make the headlines, that his economic policies could be mostly costly."

My newest Forbes article: https://t.co/zBkwaRR5Gu While short-term changes in interest rate or jobs get the most press, Trump's negative long-term effects on econmic growth are more important.

CPI report for August: https://t.co/bxuR74senB Core up 3.1 percent over 12 months, but second month in a row of .3 percent (3.6 percent annualized) - large increases in vehicles and apparel, reflecting tariffs

Interesting pattern in income trends for 2024: https://t.co/qXISCzNgHb Incomes rose for Latinos and Asians but fell for Blacks; rose at 90th percentile but not 10th or 50th; rose for YRFT males but not females. Do worse Black outcomes reflect many fewer YRFT male workers?

BLS releases revised benchmark data for payroll growth, 3/24-3/25: https://t.co/tEexw1EmNc Payrolls revised down by 911K. This period is mostly under Biden, proving BLS downward revisions are not partisan or stacked against Trump

Census releases new poverty rates for 2024: https://t.co/wRsJAPBc1T SPM poverty (more reliable than official rate) holds steady at 12.9%, rising for Blacks but declining for Whites
