New from me - new research from Raj Chetty and his fellow researchers shows that opportunity for poor white children has deteriorated whle for poor Black children it has improved - and points to why https://www.wsj.com/economy/economic-mob…
My latest, with the incomparable Rachel Wolfe, on the big increase in women's labor-force participation, the trade-offs it has come with, and the challenges that remain https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/more-women-are-working-than-ever-but-…

Census region nominal wage growth (from Atlanta Fed wage growth tracker) is inversely correlated with yoy CPI. I've got no clue why.
By one measure inflation is closing in on the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. By another it is still far away. Whether, and how, that gap closes could be critical to Fed plans this year. https://www.wsj.com/economy/central-banking/one-says-2-…
Inflation cooled again in January but came in above Wall Street’s expectations, another sign that the Federal Reserve’s path to interest-rate cuts is far from settled. https://www.wsj.com/economy/consumers/what-to-watch-in-the-cpi-report-w…
