This #WednesdayDataDrop looks at recent price trends. 📊 @cbdecon.bsky.social shows how real earnings, nominal earnings, and consumer prices interact. The chart, reflecting July's latest CPI data, also marks Liberation Day and the start of the Iran war to show when price pressures began to rise.

5/ @robertmanduca.bsky.social quantified the cost of state Medicaid & SNAP cuts, amounting to: 📍60 percent of Alaska's oil and gas extraction industry 📍100 percent of Maine's logging and paper manufacturing industries 📍80 percent of Missouri's military bases equitablegrowth.org/medicaid-and...

4/ Overall, employment growth since the start of President Trump’s second term has been narrowly concentrated in a handful of sectors—mostly education, health, and hospitality, not the heavy industry deemed most important to U.S. economic security. #JobsReport - END 🧵-

3/ The Trump administration threw the future of the USMCA into doubt this week, compounding the tariff and trade policy uncertainty dragging down growth. Employment in tariff-impacted industries has been slowly increasing this year, but was flat in June as less-exposed sectors added jobs #JobsReport

1/ The U.S. labor market modestly grew again in June, adding jobs mostly in professional services, social assistance, and health care. Leisure and hospitality, a bright spot in recent months, lost 61k jobs. Prime-age employment plummeted in a sign of tepid labor force attachment. #JobsReport - A 🧵-

We’re excited to support four projects from the @russellsagefdn.bsky.social Dissertation Research Grants program! DRG supports high-quality dissertation research projects that address questions relevant to RSF’s priority areas. Read on to learn more about each grantee and their project. - A 🧵-

WATCH 📺: @hboushey.bsky.social of @kleinmanenergy.bsky.social discusses why AI's economic gains need to reach all communities and what policymakers should consider. "We want the pie to be bigger, we're not trying to stop that, but we do need to keep pushing on all these ways to share those gains."

At our recent #EGPresents, experts discussed how the rising adoption of AI may affect the environment, economic growth, and inequality. Missed the event with @costasamaras.com, @hboushey.bsky.social, @jigarshahdc.bsky.social and Neil Thompson? Read the recap ➡️

4/ Building on research from @kevinrinz.bsky.social @clevelandfed.bsky.social, recent changes in unemployment for three key groups suggest mixed effects on overall U.S. unemployment in the coming months, with two groups suggesting rising unemployment. www.clevelandfed.org/publications... - END 🧵-

3/ The U.S. proposed new tariffs on scores of trading partners and filed a challenge to court-ordered tariff refunds this week, deepening uncertainty around U.S. trade policy. But tariff-exposed industries in May on average gained workers, driven by the metals and auto sectors. #JobsReport

1/ This morning’s #JobsReport data marks 3 months of healthy job gains, though most gains were concentrated in a small group of sectors, including leisure and hospitality, health care, and local government. Upward revisions to prior months’ data suggest an improving labor market. - A 🧵 -

3/ The U.S. economy faces headwinds from the Iran war and continued uncertainty around tariff policy. Job growth in April was uneven for import-exposed industries, as losses in transportation equipment manufacturing were offset by gains elsewhere. #JobsReport - END 🧵-

2/ The impact of AI on U.S. college graduates is still unknown, but what is clear is the weak labor market they've faced in recent years. The unemployment rate for college grads was flat in April but is more than 20% above its January 2025 reading. #JobsReport

1/ Happy #JobsDay! Here's the April #JobsReport 🧵 The U.S. labor market showed some signs of strength in April as employers added 115k jobs, concentrated in health care, transportation, and retail. Headline unemployment was flat. The quits rate, a signal of worker optimism, ticked up in March.

Automation reshapes how decisions get made at work, from scheduling to performance tracking. A new survey from @awhf.bsky.social shows how workers experience these tools and how unions respond through contract negotiations to keep people informed and protected. equitablegrowth.org/research-pap...

WATCH 📺: “Tariffs are not a good tool for macroeconomic policy.” @cbdecon.bsky.social, Elena Patel, and Carola Binder discuss how tariff uncertainty influences investment and why tariffs are not a strong tool for shaping trade outcomes. Revisit the full event ➡️ equitablegrowth.org/equitable-gr...

"Policy uncertainty reduces aggregate demand." 📺WATCH: Carola Binder explains how uncertainty interacts with today’s tariff regime and what it means for the broader economy. Missed our discussion on what's ahead in 2026 for U.S. tariffs? Check out the recap: equitablegrowth.org/equitable-gr...

New research from @awhf.bsky.social highlights how workplace technologies don't impact all workers equally—and why strong worker voice and protections matter as these tools become more common. Findings point to clear disparities that call for stronger safeguards. equitablegrowth.org/research-pap...

3/ The war in Iran has layered on additional costs for businesses already facing headwinds from an uncertain and costly U.S. tariff policy. In March, durable goods manufacturing gained jobs while nondurable goods employment was flat. #JobsReport

1/ The March #JobsReport is here! The U.S. economy, despite facing increased strain from the ongoing war with Iran, gained 178k jobs in March and the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3%. Health care, social assistance, and construction drove job growth as in prior months. - A 🧵-
