"In: Affordable housing, free childcare and city-owned grocery stores.
Out: Billions in tax breaks and incentives to big developers and employers, unless they improve the lives of working class New Yorkers."
THIS is how you grow an economy, love this piece on @JulieSuLabor!

From the people who promised you "lower prices on day one," we have Americans paying *half a billion dollars* extra today for gasoline compared to March 1.

.@deloitte brought in over $70 billion in revenue last year. They're not making life harder for their employees and their families because they have to. They're doing it because they know that they can get away with it.

Corporations are making a killing right now: "big U.S. companies are far healthier than wider economic concerns might indicate" per the @WSJ. Meanwhile, corporations like @deloitte and @Zoom are killing parental leave, as reported by @insider.

We don't lack the money to provide paid leave. We lack the enforcement teeth to force corporations to treat workers fairly—they won't do so on their own.

Important: Wage growth is almost entirely eaten up by inflation now.
Wage growth was +3.5% in March for the past 12 months
Inflation was +3.3% in March for the past 12 months.
This is the **squeeze** many households are feeling. Their pay won't be able to keep up with this level of inflation. (And yes it was the same sitaution in 2022).

“Women are faring worse in terms of taking on debt to cover their basics, borrowing from friends and families to pay the bills,” TCF's Julie Kashen said. “So when you add child care on top of that, I think it’s incredibly challenging.”

I could not be more excited about this group of visiting senior fellows. It's going to take a lot of work to fix Trump's affordability crisis and build the economy we all deserve. So happy to be doing that work with our new fellows and the rest of the @TCFdotorg team.
