    Ryan Grim Retweeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

    The link between low wages and unemployment is usually ignored in politics but taken for granted in the business press. When wages rise, the Fed raises interest rates to slow inflation by doing what? Increasing unemployment. https://theintercept.com/2018/02/08/stock-market-crash-jobs-report-wages/ …https://twitter.com/ocasio2018/status/1019343472703234049 …

    Ask your next Uber/hail service driver what their life is like. Many are teachers, or work retail, or have another job. Unemployment isn’t the major problem for those folks. It’s that, on one wage at 40 hours a week, they aren’t paid enough to live.

        In other words, in order to keep wages down, the managers of the economy use interest rate policy to throw people out of work. With lots of unemployed people, wages stay low, so people need 2 and 3 jobs. As unemployment falls, wages start to nudge up, and the cycle starts again

        Then some business class apologist says look unemployment is low! Things are great! But the Fed will only allow unemployment to stay low if wages stay low. So I deem the assertion that unemployment is low because people are working two jobs awkwardly phrased but absolutely true

        I know you like doing clean up for Alexandria. But she claimed everyone has 2nd jobs when only 5% do, and the numbers are down from previous decades. Do you plan on spinning her incoherence on that?

        Oh, only 5 million people are working two jobs? Well then, nothing to see here. Moving along.

        Here’s what you need to remember, when everything exists in percentages, they don’t have to actually concern themselves with actual people’s lives. “Only 5% of people work 2 jobs”, 5% sounds a lot better than 15.5 million people.

        What percentage is “everyone” as she said? 100% You people will blindly accept anything she says no matter how inaccurate.

        I thought you were joking about fact-checking her on “everyone.” So if your friend tells you that “everyone” was at the party last night, are you the guy who says “Well, actually, there are 7 billion people on the planet and...hey, where are you going?” You earned your mute.

        Someone was peddling a statistic that less than 5% of Americans are working two or more jobs. Which for some reason means that I basically know all of them.

        Blaming Fed for slow wage growth is nonsense. Slow wage growth results from globalization, ai/tech, less union power, demographics.
