1/ “An important milestone: household incomes are now down year-over-year. American households had more money to spend in April of 2025.”

EG Visiting Fellow Austin Clemens notes that BEA’s latest GDP and income data show weakening incomes are already slowing spending.

4/ Clemens' estimates for the bottom 50% households are an extrapolation from BEA's 2023 data on the distribution of personal income.

"Trump's OBBBA is starting to hit these households hard because of its impact on ACA subsidies and other transfers."

As we prepare to close out #AANHPIHeritageMonth, we take a look back at this 2021 analysis from @LipstickEcon and @CSanchezCumming, highlighting the variation in wage outcomes among AANHPI women and the structural factors that shape these divides.

Real personal income is now falling year-over-year, and for bottom 50% households it’s down even more sharply, per @equitablegrowth.

One straightforward place to start reversing that: raise the federal minimum wage, which has been stuck at $7.25 for 17 years.

What does “top 1 percent” really mean? This factsheet walks through how researchers identify who falls into the top income and wealth groups. It explains the data sources and why these details matter for understanding economic inequality.

[Equitable Growth @equitablegrowth]

Policymakers often rely on top income and wealth thresholds, like the top 1 percent and top 0.1 percent to study inequality.

A new report from Austin Clemens breaks down how these benchmarks are constructed and how they shape tax policy analysis.

1/ AI is changing how work is organized and how workers experience the labor market.
New EG research reviews the current evidence on AI’s effects on jobs, wages, and job quality. It also identifies important gaps that future research should address.
