We are extraordinarily saddened to report AFL-CIO Chief Economist Bill Spriggs William E. Spriggs passed away peacefully last night. His work has impacted a generation of economics and workers around the world and his legacy will live on for lifetimes to come.

Good on President Donald J. Trump and the The White House administration for paying their respects and recognition of the contributions of William E. Spriggs, an economist dedicated to the improvement of the experience of Black Americans and all of humanity ❤️ 🙏🏾 🥂
