BELATED FULL DISCLOSURE [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
It has been pointed out elsewhere on the web that one of our pieces today was written by someone described as “an economist in Washington, D.C.” He, in fact, works for the Department of Labor. He signed the piece with a byline he’s been using for years. Not for the first time, we — wrongly — assumed the author had left government when we were approached with unsolicited pieces. We were wrong to assume. His piece now makes note of this explanation/disclosure/apology. As a practice, we don’t publish pieces from people who work in government without disclosing it. We were remiss here and apologize to our readers.
