Already lots of well-placed outrage at the dismissal of the BLS Commissioner late last week; just want to add how much I have appreciated and relied on BLS data for the past 25 years to tell the story of regional economies. Hope their vital, non-political work continues. cc: @markmuro1.bsky.social

Thank you @rodriguez-pose.bsky.social for distilling the critical need for complement "superstar" concentrations of #AI development with readiness in the rest of the country. And note this will likely be a problem in Europe too. @brookings.edu @dacemoglumit.bsky.social @calebwatney.bsky.social

#AI is the crop that only few fields can grow. @markmuro1.bsky.social & ‪@shriyared.bsky.social find that two Bay cities bag 13% of #US AI hiring. They divide America into superstars and also-rans, revealing big adoption gaps. Investment beyond the coasts is needed. www.brookings.edu/articles/map...

So glad you guys find the discussion useful. Note that it applies to #AI as much as trade shocks, and some of the outlines about what to do about such shocks apply both to trade and automation, and to now as much as earlier @bencasselman.bsky.social @brookings.edu @alexsjacquez.bsky.social

Fascinating discussion on regional economic divides from @markmuro1.bsky.social, Robert Puentes and Gordon Hanson. They examine both Biden's place-based industrial strategy and Trump's tariffs. Worth a listen!
