We can & should improve our #labor market stats! Stat agencies (esp. BLS!) need have access to #Unemployment Insurance wage & claims data, enhanced by good curation and added info on hours, worksite, job title & demographics.

While the C-CPI-U is a more accurate cost-of-living index, the poor may have less ability to substitute. We showed in https://t.co/rfO1BNmf3K that the poor have less substation bias, hence, a C-CPI-U for the poor may not be less than the overall CPI-U.

Funds proposed in the House LHHS approps bill will help @BLS_gov regain purchasing power & take full advantage of advances in statistical methods to produce the high-quality statistics required for a thriving, 21st-century economy. Thank you @rosadelauro! https://t.co/gDBGD40p0j
