It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

If you'd like to teach about the new economics of supply networks and their fragility this spring (see thread below for an application), here's a short list of broadly accessible resources you might find useful.
Look at the structure of modern supply networks.
Most of these sourcing relationships cross borders.
And most of these relationships operate on low margins. That means big tariffs will shut down a considerable number of them.

I will say that it is funny that three positions that were the core of my youth: the current neoliberal trade regime is bad, the Iraq War is a monstrous mistake and George W Bush sucks, have now become right-wing canon.

People often ask how Trump won, and it's mostly this.
Washington Post under Trump: "151,000 jobs is solid"
Washington Post under Biden: "194,000 jobs is another weak month"

Genuinely inspiring, which we need these days.
“One of our biggest goals coming out of this contract victory is to organize like we’ve never organized before,” said Shawn Fain last night. “When we return to the bargaining table in 2028, it won’t just be the Big Three, but with the Big Five or Big Six.”
