Worth noting in the context of debates around AI and employment: the US age-adjusted employment-population ratio is essentially back at levels consistent with its 2000 peak.

Replying to @ernietedeschi
Likewise, the age-adjusted employment-population ratio and labor force participation rates have been firming, and are essentially back at dot-com-boom peak levels.

I would like to think, rather, that every parent wants their child to be happy.

Every parent wants a happy child. So we built MDD-PGT, the first genetic predictor of depression for embryo screening. Kids with a lower MDD-PGT tend to sleep better, fight less and enjoy jokes more. With 10 embryos, picking the lowest-risk one cuts depression risk by over 40%.

GDP growth has come in strong so far in 2025. Yet, job growth in 2025 was barely above 0 at 15,000/month. So it looks like an AI productivity boom! ...economic data is never that simply. We may in fact be seeing a productivity boom...but certainty and why are still TBD. 1/

I thought Murray did a good job at the WSJ but maybe he just doesn't understand how a major metro daily is not the same as a global financial publication.

No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

Fed allies see Trump’’s attempt to upend the central bank as the greatest threat to the institution’s autonomy since Nixon put the screws to Arthur Burns. Unfortunately for the Fed, the coalition that’s preserved its independence is beginning to fray. politico.com/newsletters/mor…

Who will stand up for the Fed?

Thursday’s Fed governor nomination hearing for Stephen Miran will provide a lens into whether the GOP lawmakers’ long-held views on its independence have truly shifted.

Higher borrowing costs are here to stay. Even if Trump's new Fed chair cuts interest rates. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Can Trump Lower Interest Rates by Replacing Fed's Jerome Powell?

Higher rates are the result of far more than Fed decisions. Debt, demographics, and deglobalization are all driving the price of money up.
