Framework update from Powell: removed the "shortfalls" language but adds: "employment may at times run above real-time assessments of maximum employment without necessarily creating risks to price stability."
noting that estimates of "maximum employment" are "highly uncertain."

Line plot from an analysis by Will Raderman showing similar employment trends for recent college graduate in "low" and "high" AI usage sectors
Is AI responsible for the relative increase in unemployment among recent college graduates? Probably not.
Recent grad employment trends are similar in industries more or less likely to use AI
Nice analysis from Will Raderman @employamerica.bsky.social

We’re very excited about this new chapter in Employ America’s history.
Big thanks to the whole EA team - and our designers & dev - but esp to former EAgle Alex Williams, who constructed much of the back-end of the new site just before departing for new adventures 🙏 @atwilliams.bsky.social

Employ America
Strategies for the full employment of America's workers, resources, and capabilities.
First: We have a beautiful new website reflecting a suite of new branding!
We of course love our vintage logo - we’ll continue to find ways to use it. Our goal has been to strengthen our visual brand while maintaining continuity in color and details www.employamerica.org

There’s lots of exciting news from Employ America today - we’re unveiling new branding, new mission-focused language, and a new vision for how to achieve durable full employment through robust macroeconomic policy.
But that's not all...

this is an extremely thoughtful note; one can really look at EA as a guiding light for how the “needs” for US policymaking have evolved over the past 5-10 years.

Employ America’s deep understanding of the macroeconomic picture and innovative legal thinking positions us uniquely well to meet this moment. We’re eager to dive into a new era as an organization, and craft the policies needed to unleash the full potential of the US economy! /end

Strong policy can incentivize investment, prevent supply chain snarls, and create the foundation for a durable full employment economy. We’re committed to equipping policymakers with a robust toolkit to navigate through these uncertain times, into a future of inclusive prosperity 3/4

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 2/4

Unemployment rate flat, but epop dips quite a bit.
A lot of employed -> not in labor force flows this month.

New @rooseveltinstitute.org report from me & @alexbhturnbull.bsky.social: we need not choose between markets & planning—we can build better markets.
Strategic reserves, integrated w/ modern financial markets, can boost supply resilience & stabilize prices during shocks.

Roosevelt brought together 20+ authors (incl. Sen Murphy, AFL-CIO's Liz Shuler, Mariana Mazzucato, Cecilia Munoz, Ned Resnikoff, Arnab Datta...) to answer the question: what should progressive policy priorities look like in the coming months and years? (mini 🧵)

The Dream of the 90s is Slipping Away in 2025
After the pandemic recession, the right policy decisions resulted in a strong recovery and laid the foundations for another era of sustained productivity growth, similar to the 1990s. Sadly, in 2025, ...

Opinion | Climate Activists Need to Radically Change Their Approach Under Trump
Climate purity is a recipe for failure.
A 1000 word op-ed is not a place for detailed policy prescriptions.
Luckily, one thing I pushed for in this article was links to our work at @employamerica.bsky.social and @ifp.bsky.social.
Here’s a thread with some of them (not all because we’ve written a LOT). www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/o...
