We expect tomorrow's #JobsReport to still show a strong labor market, though not as strong as at the start of 2022.

What's different? Slower job gains, wage growth and reduced hours. The Fed was shooting for this. Now, hopefully, they'll stop shooting.

There's "some real progress for at least some low-paid workers," #CEPR's Dean Baker writes. "The folks who have rigged the economy in their favor so they can get big bucks may not like the fact that it’s harder to get good help, but them’s the breaks." #1u https://t.co/dOVQPlhL2U

.@DeanBaker13 comments on a @nytimes piece covering the FDA approval process of an Alzheimer’s disease drug. "...the NYT is not even willing to acknowledge the corruption that results from the incentives it [the #patent system] creates." https://t.co/24PJQhrCbu

Must read by @DeanBaker13 "Having a chair who sees the Fed’s priority as running the labor market as hot as possible without triggering inflation is a very different world."
