Once hired, an H-1B worker has significantly less leverage than an American worker; bound to their sponsoring employer by their immigration status, they cannot change jobs freely to seek better pay elsewhere. The result is a structural financial incentive to hire guestworkers over American workers.

In 2025, American Compass’s ideas—from shifting the global trade paradigm to giving workers a seat at the table—made their way to the halls of power and shifted the national conversation. As @oren_cass writes in his Founder’s Letter, “What began as a conversation among a small cadre of frustrated conservatives has become a genuine movement.” Our 2025 annual report is a definitive look back at some of our most important work to date.

The recent debates on @weeklyshowpod with @R_Thaler & @oren_cass point to a larger issue that I think is right: something is off with our standard economic narratives. Too often, our profession defends outdated paradigms, blinding us to the fact that American capitalism is failing most Americans. Our role as economists should be to figure out what is right and wrong, not only in our models but also in real-world outcomes. I joined Cass on the @AmerCompass podcast this week to discuss why it’s time to rethink our standard narratives. youtube.com/watch?v=GH1m2V…
