Note the stagnation in 2017-2019 as the labor market finally got strong — we could use a concept of labor market slack that accounts for the dynamics of this labor intensive, low wage, low productivity, discretionary sector as a kind of labor force reserve. — PolitiTweet.org

@jbarro I just feel like a bartender can open six cans of $4 beer faster than he can make a $12 cocktail, and with less training too. In New York where land is the scarce factor of production, cocktails are probably optimal. But not in real America. — PolitiTweet.org
