From @ProfDavidDeming and @LHSummers @AspenEcon paper “Technological Disruption in the US Labor Market”

America is replacing bad jobs with good jobs.
From 2016 to 2022, high-skilled jobs soared while low-skill and mid-skill jobs vanished. Overall employment rates went up. Americans are moving from bad jobs to good jobs.

Today, the @WhiteHouseCEA released the 2025 Economic Report of the President. Chapter 7 of the report references AESG Policy Director @parduel's IN BRIEF on rising worker productivity in the US: “The CEA estimates that mean real weekly wages paid to college-educated workers who were not K-12 teachers rose by 15.4 percent between 2000 and 2023 as worker productivity also rose, in part due to technological innovation in other sectors of the economy.”

In his new @WSJ op-ed, @jasonfurman stresses the importance of considering tradeoffs in economic policymaking. At our recent policy volume launch, he applied this framework to the case of rebuilding America's chip industry. Watch here:

My latest @WSJopinion is a theme I've been hitting a lot lately--about tradeoffs and the conservative vice of only worrying about costs and the liberal vice of thinking everything is a benefit. buff.ly/4abW2gg

Rare criticism of Trump from Blinken: He said Trump's idea to have the US take Greenland from Denmark was "obviously not a good one." He and the French foreign minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, pointed to potential strains in alliances as Trump returns: nytimes.com/2025/01/08/world…

Noticed something interesting while taking stock of the job market in 2024:
The FOMC’s projections for Q4 unemployment rate moved around quite a bit this year (down to 4% in March, up to 4.4% in June) but they almost nailed it with the median forecast of 4.1% last December!

Where do they project it will be this time next year? Not too far from where it is now - median projection is 4.3%

This @wsj article highlights a high-profile example of a point @jenniferdoleac makes in her recent @AspenEcon paper: investing in technology to detect and apprehend criminals (being mindful of privacy costs) is a proven way to make communities safer

This morning we released the final paper in our policy volume, a look by @jenniferdoleac on evidence-based strategies to reduce crime.
Crimes costs victims & communities trillions each year, and Jen lays out a thoughtful agenda for cost-effective ways to make communities safer.
7 Dec 2024
After decades of declining crime rates, the US experienced a spike in violent crime during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a new paper for the AESG 2024 annual policy volume, @jenniferdoleac examines recent crime trends, the economic costs of crime, and evidence-based strategies to reduce it.

Although lengthening punishments is a politically popular strategy, @jenniferdoleac points out that research shows strategies geared towards preventing crime and apprehending offenders is a much more effective use of public resources
