I'd like to compliment the staff of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, @BEA_News, for their work on the first quarter quarter GDP estimate. BEA has made tremendous progress since the 2007-09 recession in being able to monitor the economy in nearly real time. https://t.co/E1Z2C65y7D

In recent years, some labor economists have argued that a rising concentration of large firms is also contributing to income inequality because these companies have local market power and, thus, an ability to set wages at the expense of local workers. https://t.co/cZglBKgbxT
