Ernie Tedeschi suggests that while hiring more public sector workers could be beneficial as a policy choice, it is unlikely to effectively raise GDP due to the crowding out of private labor.
He further notes that increasing transfers or lowering taxes, though potentially justified, may also crowd out real investment and net exports.
Tedeschi previously observed that U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by 57,000, with the three-month moving average at 111,000. In a separate note, he reported rising real net worth among Baby Boomers, Millennials, and Gen-Xers compared to previous generations. These data points provide additional context for his recent comments on labor and fiscal policy.
