Trump's advisers keep downplaying the extent of his tariff proposals -- saying this 10% idea is just one more extreme idea among many -- but then Trump himself keeps suggesting he would actually like to be *more* aggressive
Use our migrant child labor data! More children are crossing the border on their own than ever before, and thousands are ending up doing dangerous, illegal jobs. We sued the government for a huge trove of data about these kids, and shared it all here: github.com/nytimes/hhs-ch…
The first container ship just called at the port of Baltimore since the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse on March 26th. Excellent work by the salvage crews clearing the channel in to restore Baltimore’s connection to the global ocean so quickly. I thought it would take longer.
Several people who have spoken with Trump about the Fed said he wants someone in charge of the central bank who will, in effect, treat him as an ex officio member of the central bank’s rate-setting committee. @AndrewRestuccia @learyreports wsj.com/economy/centra…

The US economy expanded at a 1.6% pace in Q1. That's below expectations of 2.5%. What happened? 1. Americans aren't buying many goods (esp. cars). Services spending is still strong, but not goods 2. The Federal gov't isn't spending as much. 3. Exports and inventories were low
JUST IN: The US economy grew 1.6% in Q1. That’s solid, but it’s a clear slowdown from 3.4% in Q4. Consumption moderated a little bit. Biz investment was still solid. ***But the biggest change was a slowdown in exports and government spending*** Q1 2024: 1.6% Q4 2023: 3.4% Q3…
There are many sources of monopsony power, some of which are endemic to the labor process. But there are also practices that create monopsony by artifice. Like non-competes. This new rule change banning them could help reduce that harm and raise dynamism. thehill.com/business/46154…
Big news: The FTC just announced a ban on "noncompete contracts". Roughly 1 in 5 workers are currently subject to a noncompete, which makes it hard to leave a company and go work elsewhere in the same industry. This is a win for rank-and-file workers. wsj.com/politics/polic…
Breaking news: House passes $95 billion foreign aid package, with funds for Ukraine and Israel, with bipartisan support washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
So excited to announce that @NatashaRSarin and @dannyyagan and I are launching @The_Budget_Lab at Yale Law School. Budget scoring is an incredibly important part of the policy process and our hope is to bring a new perspective, with a focus on innovation and transparency. 1/
Incredible shift: Wall Street has taken a June rate cut off the table. A week ago the market was pricing in a 60% chance the Fed would cut rates in June. Now it's a 16.5% chance.
Disinflation has stalled - as @KarenDynan pointed out yesterday @PIIE #globaleconomicprospects ahead of today's CPI release. Not a reason for panic as so many rightly note. But this is not just a blip or special factors. @tomkeene @DianeSwonk @jasonfurman

Bison may look friend-shaped, but they already have all the friends they want. Keep your distance and don't make it awkward.
The advantage of data dependent policymaking is that conditional on a set of publicly known information, we don’t get surprises:
Tomorrow feels like a weirdly uneventful Fed meeting. Unless Powell makes some sort of comment about rate hikes in the presser, which I can’t imagine, doesn’t feel like a very market-moving event.
Why I recently reverted back to not wearing a smart watch...unless I am actively working out. I didn't have notifications on my last one, but I didn't even want to see the metrics. I don't need to know every heartbeat or step I take. Simplify the right things, fill your mind…

The "unexpected" bump up in 2024q1 was partly driven by union contracts. Contract negotiation dates are staggered, and union workers are catching up in real wage growth. I know this from personal experience: our union was one of those, and we got a sizable 2024q1 catch-up bump.

For more on what needs to happen to ensure America's coming new semiconductor fabs are staffed by a thousands of decently paid tech-collar workers see the @BrookingsMetro paper @MarthaHRoss and I released recently @joeparilla @Rachel_Lipson
Another problem? Few kids in America grow up dreaming of working in a semiconductor "fab" It takes time -- and good pay -- to get the word out about these chips jobs. It also takes ~1 year of training to really succeed.
On a day when better-than-expected wage data is seen as further diminishing the chances of rate cuts in 2024, it's worth remembering that the pandemic was really the only time in the past 60 years that the Fed ever let wage growth run above interest rates for an extended period
Use our migrant child labor data! More children are crossing the border on their own than ever before, and thousands are ending up doing dangerous, illegal jobs. We sued the government for a huge trove of data about these kids, and shared it all here: github.com/nytimes/hhs-ch…
