4. Ben Casselman
Chief economics writer, FiveThirtyEight
- What he writes about: The economy, with a particular focus on jobs and the labor market. In FiveThirtyEight style, all his posts include charts.
- Favorite posts: "I've written several posts in the past year about energy, an incredibly important topic that doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves in the media."
- An example: "Back in December, I wrote about how the conventional wisdom on oil is always wrong — experts have consistently underestimated the size and impact of the U.S. oil boom, and have missed several other important turning points in the oil markets."
- The other topic that can't be ignored: "Long-term unemployment, which is an issue that has faded from the national conversation to an almost criminal degree."
