The Pig is leaving the Python.

Job openings jumped to 7.6 million in April, and layoffs ticked back down after rising in March. But hiring and quits continued to slow. In other words: More of this low-churn, "low-hire, low-fire" labor market. #JOLTS

Here's another post mangling my "Pig in the Python" paper. I argued that boomers departures will likely lead to higher wages and reduced inequality for the young. This person says we are screwing everything up by retiring.

Fascinating paper: "The pig in the python: US decennial labor flows and economic opportunity, 1910–2040." (h/t @marlongodot).

This article completely misinterprets my new paper on "The Pig in the Python." I argue that the the demand for young workers will grow dramatically over the coming decades, likely leading to rising wages, stronger unions, and lower inequality. /1

Lichtenberg somehow transforms my optimistic argument into a dystopian catastrophe. Labor shortages are clearly a good thing from the perspective of the laborers, but I guess Fortune Magazine has a different perspective.

The reporter asking the question is @maxnesterak of the Minnesota Reformer.
Reporter: President Trump has granted clemency to numerous individuals who stole millions in Medicaid funds. Can we expect any of these folks to be shown the same mercy in the future?
McDonald: I'll take a different question

I argue that an unprecedented demographic transformation will drastically reduce competition for jobs by 2040. Barring an economic collapse, we can expect a massive shortfall of new workers, leading to upward pressure on wages and an improved climate for labor organizing.

Los Angeles County opened a new school roughly every month from 1946 to 1964. Now the kids who necessitated those schools are leaving the labor force.
