@mtkonczal Get your pitchforks, tar and feathers, now before the price increases! It's time to rise up against the oligarchs! 544 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 03 Sep 2026 If we want to do a round on proprietors' incomes (which the BLS awkwardly imputes into this series), nonfinancial corporate, which ducks that issue, is also at its lowest labor share on record in the BLS series. We also see this in BEA data; the last six quarters look real. ht 2.1K views · 3 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies 03 Sep 2026 Mike knows this well, but there are measurement issues w/ the BLS labor share wonks love to discuss. But after those adjustments (just focus on corporate sector, take out depreciation), we get the same basic result.

How would you even write such a thing about Trump's second term? https://t 2.8K views · 23 likes · 0 reposts · 5 replies 02 Sep 2026 Come work with me! I'm hiring a Senior Director for my team.
