Author, The Case for a Job Guarantee

[Pavlina R Tcherneva @ptcherneva]

Unemployment is a policy choice.
Accepting it as a perennial feature of the economy and an unfortunate but unavoidable situation IS a self-imposed intellectual handicap.
It causes so much pain and devastation.
We can choose differently:

@ProudSocialist Careful what you wish for. UBI is a Trojan Horse that will be used to undermine wages and the safety net. What we need is a federal job guarantee. https://t.co/gopCZ1dKtf

Our job guarantee proposal is vastly superior. Puts public money to public use to address public needs. Not the sort of 'guarantee' that would ultimately make millions of jobs more precarious, while wiping out others altogether

.@LevyEcon anniversary conference Keynote by Bill Janeway- "It was Minsky who revealed the profound conflict between 'the economics of Keynes' and the 'Keynesian economics' that dominated the teaching and practice of macroeconomics for at least a generation, and which remains embedded in contemporary 'New Keynesian' models of the economy." @ptcherneva

Speaking of Census hiring, those are the peaks in this chart. But the series shows sharp decline in public employment under Clinton, small reversal in the last 10yrs, and wreckage under Trump. Meanwhile, core services are understaffed and underfunded. Public sector jobs matter.

A @MinneapolisFed study of 850,000+ Census hires in 2010 finds that even temporary govt jobs can meaningfully affect labor market trajectories, especially for those on the employment margins.

Poverty isn't just about money, it's about time. When we count unpaid household labor like childcare, cooking & cleaning, nearly 40% more employed Americans are living in poverty than official statistics suggest.

Perhaps Harvard's new As-to-GPA limit has been designed by economists to prevent them from becoming As-insolvent.
Maybe they think that This Time Is Different.

As I argue in my latest @LevyEcon paper, precarity is THE current economic model and AI will make it worse.
The Job Guarantee can reverse engineer the labor market. https://t.co/fohJVgI17N

In our latest working paper, Levy President Pavlina Tcherneva advocates for a job guarantee: "Not as a transitional measure. Not as a residual safety net. But as the institutional anchor of an economy that finally works for the people who do the work."
