Last week's release of @BEA_News data shows the top 10 percent's share of income has returned to its previous record high.
A new analysis from Austin Clemens highlights what this means for evaluating inequality and designing effective policy responses.

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Erika McEntarfer after she published a weak jobs report that showcased the damage Trump is doing to the U.S. economy.
RETWEET if you stand with Commissioner McEntarfer against Trump!
David S Johnson retweeted
Erika McEntarfer has devoted her career to public service. She has conducted herself as BLS Commissioner with great integrity. There is no evidence whatsoever that BLS data are politically biased. By incorrectly asserting that the data are biased, President Trump is undermining the integrity of the information that policymakers, businesses, households, and investors use to make important decisions that affect the welfare of the nation. It is imperative that decisionmakers understand that government statistics are unbiased and of the highest quality. By casting doubt on that, the President is damaging the United States.
