If President Trump wants the Fed to cut rates, he should push the Senate to put site-neutral Medicare payments back on the table as they finalize the reconciliation bill. Site-neutral payments can help lower inflation, giving the Fed room to cut.

Regardless of which reason you find most compelling, I think greater skepticism of the AI hypothesis is warranted. Don’t Blame AI For The Decline In Job Prospects After College (yet). You can read the piece here: employamerica.org/labor-market-a…

Other explanations could better explain why recent grads are facing worse outcomes now, including those that  @PrestonMui, @IrvingSwisher, & the smart folks at @employamerica have already written about! Factors like the slower overall hiring rate and the 2022 “tech-cession."

A lot of people are blaming AI for grads’ poor outcomes, but I find the evidence for this claim is surprisingly thin. Excited to release a new analysis w/ @employamerica on the labor market performance of recent college grads. 🧵

New from our guest writer @RadWill_ on the rise on recent graduate unemployment. Is it AI? Not so fast!

New from my colleague @ash_georgexx at @employamerica OBBBA slashes programs like Medicaid and SNAP. It's not just harmful to Americans that rely on those programs. It's also bad macroeconomic policy.

re: tariff inflation discourse, it's worth mentioning again that if tariffs *don't* raise prices, then there's no way they "incentivize" domestic production The mechanism by which they're supposed to re-shore industry is by increasing prices for imported goods and reducing trade

... but esp big THANK YOU to @_vikasbp, who project-managed the entire thing across branding, website, comms, publishing... would have been impossible without him Happy to reclaim my time now that the branding project is done, but I'm so thrilled with what we've created together

Same name, same org, but we're doing some updating @employamerica Thankful to all who have supported us over the years and looking forward to your support and collaboration over the coming years.

The challenges to achieving and sustaining full employment have evolved, so Employ America is evolving too. We’ve overhauled our public communications, re-imagined our branding ... employamerica.org/expanding-the-…

Employ America is the most valuable-above-replacement economics think thank / policy research shop in the world, certainly relative to the number of people who work there. Looking forward to seeing what they do next.

Employ America was launched in 2019 to confront the policy failures in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. Policymakers learned from their mistakes and avoided another jobless recovery after COVID, but shortages and inflation have revealed the limits of the old playbook 1/8

We've advocated for a Strategic Resilience Reserve: public entity that supports market development, not picks winners. It should: - Lend to intermediaries - Invest in storage - Act as buyer of last resort in crises (like the SPR did in 2023-24) x.com/ArnabDatta321/… 5/

That means rebuilding market infrastructure: - Transparent benchmark contracts - Physical exchanges for metals and minerals - Liquidity to reduce investment risk Without this, even strong firms like Albemarle can't justify new U.S. refining capacity. 4/

Trump’s trade talks made it clear: on critical minerals, China holds the cards. The U.S. needs more than stockpiles and subsidies - we need to rebuild market infrastructure so the U.S. and allies can compete. New @FT piece from Daleep Singh (w/ me contributing). 🧵 1/
