Jared Bernstein


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Bernstein

Jared Bernstein (born 1955) is an American economist who is the chair of the United States Council of Economic Advisers. He is a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.[1] From 2009 to 2011, Bernstein was the chief economist and economic adviser to Vice President Joe Biden in the Obama Administration.[2] In 2008, Michael D. Shear described Bernstein as a progressive and "a strong advocate for workers".[3]

In February 2023, President Joe Biden nominated Bernstein to serve as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers.[4] He was confirmed to be chair on June 13, 2023.[5] He was ceremonially sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris on July 10, 2023.[6]

Career

Bernstein has taught at Howard University, Columbia University, and New York University. His areas of interest include "federal, state and international economic policies, specifically the middle class squeezeincome inequality and mobility, trends in employment and earnings, low-wage labor markets, poverty, and international comparisons."[This quote needs a citation][10] He is known as a critic of free trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).[3]

In 1992, Bernstein started working as a senior official at the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a liberal think tank with a focus on issues affecting low- and middle-income working people.[3] From 1995 to 1996, he served in the United States Department of Labor as deputy chief economist. He then returned to the EPI, as senior economist and director of the Living Standards Program, until he was selected by Biden. His designated job on the vice presidential staff is a new position, created because of "the critical nature of the economic challenges facing America."[11] Upon his appointment, some journalists claimed that it "contrasts sharply with the more centrist views of many of president-elect Barack Obama's economic advisers."[3]

Bernstein sits on the Congressional Budget Office's advisory committee. He is a contributor at the financial news network CNBC. He also was appointed executive director of the Middle Class Working Families Task Force and is responsible for direct management of the project.

Paul Krugman, a Nobel laureate in economics and a noted progressive columnist, argued in November 2008 that the centrist makeup of President Barack Obama's economic inner circle, the new Economic Recovery Advisory Board, could be used to "give progressive economists a voice," and he mentioned Bernstein and fellow EPI economist president Lawrence Mishel among others as progressive economists who might be suitable for the board.
