Updated data shows that the wage compression we had documented in our earlier research has persisted through end of 2023, with strong real wage growth at the bottom and middle of pay scale.

👨‍🏭 What are the effects of raising minimum wages? @arindube tackles this question by summarizing what economists have learned about minimum wages over the last 25 years in a new episode of our podcast series 'Handbook Talks' dedicated to the forthcoming volumes of the Handbook of Labor Economics.

So exciting to host @arindube at Northwestern telling us about the unexpected wage compression! Fantastic paper everyone should have a look at here: https://t.co/Qubn9jVgZA

We need much more work on the impact of sectoral bargaining using data from EU and elsewhere.

It's really a shame how much the "union effect" literature has focused on US, which is really an outlier in so many ways when it comes to unions.

This may be the most compelling illustration of the asymmetric bias towards negative news stories I have seen.

[Joey Politano 🏳️‍🌈 @JosephPolitano]

MMT always seems more interested in winning on social media and liberal arts schools than actually changing policy, and this is a great example

If you worked in DC econ policy, would you work with MMT people after seeing this? Would you agree to their next interview request?

[Arin Dube @arindubes]

Don't be a jerk.

That's all.

[Arin Dube @arindubes]

One of the most ridiculous-yet oddly fitting-aspects of the Bernstein clip is that the right wing swarm reposting the clip that MMTers promoted took it to be a takedown of MMT.

This whole affair was a match made in heaven where idiocy was rewarded with idiocy.

[Arin Dube @arindubes]

Producing an unfair, edited, gotcha video against a progressive economist (Jared Bernstein) dedicated to full employment - so it can be used virally by the far right social media - is a particularly asinine move from the MMT crowd. Whatever patience I had, it's gone.

[Guy Berger @EconBerger]

@econjared46 is awesome, that is all

[Kevin Rinz @kevinrinz]

What makes this situation especially funny/galling is that Jared’s *whole thing* (not to take anything away from him) is that he has a clear, coherent, and compelling understanding of how the economy works (or not) for workers

[Bobby Kogan @BBKogan]

Aside from the fact that the clip is quite obviously edited, it’s also just ludicrous to pretend Jared isn’t extremely smart.

It’s obvious if you’ve ever heard him speak.
