2024 Economic Report of the President dedicated the first chapter to our very own beloved and greatly missing Dr. William Spriggs. He was a giant and left a lasting impact on how we think about labor economics.
@HowardU @HU_COAS @hufaculty
Ch 1, The Benefits of Full Employment, dedicated to the late William Spriggs, examines the macroeconomic and labor market impacts of full employment and tight labor markets, with a particular focus on the benefits for traditionally disadvantaged workers.

Can’t stop thinking about this story. A *QUARTER* of all CT State troopers wrote tens of thousands of fake tickets to fake white people, likely to hide over-policing of minorities. Both the number of tickets and the share of troopers is ASTOUNDING.

We are extraordinarily saddened to report AFL-CIO Chief Economist Bill Spriggs @WSpriggs passed away peacefully last night.
His work has impacted a generation of economics and workers around the world and his legacy will live on for lifetimes to come.
