to decode here my friends: with black unemployment typically anchored at double white joblessness, this finding implies that a black unemployment rate of ~10% is the threshold for U.S. price stability. a chilling implication. story tk from me on these posited harsh tradeoffs…
New paper with @ojblanchard1 and @asdomash shows that the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment has increased to near 5 percent, implying a substantial overheating of the economy.

This is a good (and distressing) illustration of what happens when you allow consolidation to the point that critical facilities (milk processing in this case) exist only at the whim of a monopolist.
As always, great reporting by @clairekelloway
Antitrust enforcers made merging milk monopolists divest plants in 2020 to preserve regional competition. Now two divested plants are closing, ending 250+ union jobs and leaving retailers & schools in the upper Midwest with just two major milk providers. foodandpower.net/latest/bord…

Apparently if you want a new house under $300,000 these days, you'll have a 50-plus minute commute to downtown Raleigh and live somewhere between Pine Level and Nahunta
To build new homes in the $200,000s, a local homebuilder is targeting an area southeast of Interstate 95 in Johnston County. bizjournals.com/triangle/new…
