Higher-than-projected immigration could mean that published data in the Current Population Survey (CPS) underestimate population growth and, thus, employment growth for both foreign-born and U.S.-born people. More from Wendy Edelberg and Tara E W: hamiltonproject.org/publication/po…

Wendy Edelberg and Tara E W explained this effect in a recent article. Their takeaway: Employment among U.S.-born workers has actually increased. brookings.edu/articles/stron…

I am worried about the softening in employment growth relative to the strong momentum I see in labor supply (from immigration). But a 50 bps cut could telegraph unwarranted panic. So, there’d have to be some consensus so that FOMC would could start laying the groundwork now.

"Surely my esteemed opponent isn't using the Official Poverty Measure to discuss the impact of the Child Tax Credit? As anyone with a passing familiarity with these figures knows, only the Supplemental measure accounts for after-tax benefits."
