Since the Iran war started, wages have been losing ground to prices, according to @kdoc-writes.bsky.social, TCF's chief economist. “The American worker is working harder, productivity is up, wage growth is tepid, prices are continuing to rise," said Moore: www.marketplace.org/story/2026/0...

Wage growth can't compete with inflation right now
The latest jobs report shows that, as inflation has risen during the Iran War, wage growth has continued to slide. Wages are now growing at the slowest pace in more than five years.

Is a rate hike going to rebuild our trade relationships or reopen the Strait of Hormuz? No, but it could make an already tough economy a little tougher for strained American families. New commentary w/ @tcfdotorg.bsky.social: tcf.org/content/comm...

Proud to be joining up as Chief Economist at The Century Foundation- I want to continue to help to give people a vaccine for bad thinking about racial disparities. If folks have questions about building a progressive vision for our economy hit me up, let me know. Let's do better together!

White supremacy makes us poorer than we could be, and it always has- white families included. Even as White workers benefit relatively compared to Black folks, we're all made worse off compared to the real winners: wealthy employers, corporations, and grifters like Trump. New analysis for BHM ⬇️

Including the value of health insurance in our assessment of poverty shows even greater disparities. @icidmartinez.bsky.social and I discuss a new measure introduced by Census that does just that, and show how valuable the ACA premium subsidies have been in easing families' affordability woes

The "why's" are important here: Trump's attacking equity to make it harder to hold the government & corporations accountable for the harm they do, particularly to communities of color. But don't get it twisted, these actions make us all sicker and less economically secure 😷📉

What do you get when thousands of federal workers are laid off, millions of borrowers' credit scores drop 100s of points, and billions of dollars of federal funding evaporates over the course of a few months? Idk, but I bet it starts with an 'R'

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus. Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet. Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

What he actually wants is for Black children (and adults) to turn off their pain receptors for injustice, so he doesn't have to hear them complaining about it. Nah. Stay sensitive to racism, it doesn't have to be inevitable. Calling it out is how we remove racists from the power structure

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive. This is what oligarchy looks like.

New report update from me via EPI. Either president was going to inherit a fairly strong economy, with racial disparities that stem from structural features of the labor market. With the incoming administration, addressing any of those persistent disparities becomes significantly more challenging

Who needs economists anyway? Are we here just to caution folks against the consequences of bad policy, to legitimize the status quo, or to chart a path toward somewhere new and bold? I'd argue the last few years have shown us that if it's the first two, people really are not trying to hear it 🤫
