This evening, a bipartisan U.S. Senate vote confirmed Princeton’s Cecilia Rouse as chair of the whitehouse Council of Economic Advisers (95-4). She is the first African American and just the fourth woman to lead the CEA in the 75 years of its existence. . . “We need to be positioned for the economy of the future so that everyone is able to partake in the growth we hope to have,” Rouse has said. “To that end, I am honored to have a chance to return to public service to help lead that charge.” #Princetagram #economics #economy #covidrelief
