Alan Krueger, a Princeton University economist who served as a top adviser to Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, died Saturday, according to the university.
The 58-year-old committed suicide, his family said in a separate statement released by the school Monday.
It is with tremendous sadness we share that Professor Alan B. Krueger, beloved husband, father, son, brother, and Princeton professor of economics took his own life over the weekend, the family said. The family requests the time and space to grieve and remember him.
Krueger served as a Labor Department economist under Clinton, then as a top Treasury official for Obama. From 2011 to 2013, he was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.

Just hoping that this is a “developing trend!” Listen up Hillary!
Doh!
“Courtesy phone for Mr. Cory Booker...”
I can't believe that Obama had an economic advisor! Could be that Krueger gave him sound advice but Obama went opposite. More likely that Krueger gave bad advice, and President Trump's success with the Trump economy drove Krueger to despair! Anyway, Obama was a confused idiot who had no idea how to run anything, not even successful as a junior community organizer.
No one is going to indict a former president ...
I remember that trash
Yeah, sure.
Why make an issue of it?
Get over yourself.
That question mark was a typo, I’m sure.
Thanks for pointing that out. I thought I had read before about Krueger coming to a bad end.
As I proffered at the time this was first posted, I imagine it is really depressing to find out that very economic theory you hold had been proven wrong. Not sure how you hold your head up after admitting you were an Obama economic advisor.
$1 says it’s going to happen.
I just watched a hilarious episode of “Billions”
I’ll wager $2 million...
OMG, that was so damned funny...
He had daily briefings about illegal spying on an opposing political candidate...
He’s going to serve time!!!
Oh no, at worst he was feeling blue and went for a night time stroll in a public park . . .
Choked on a humble crow.
Shamed by Trump.
He was delusional
Per the article:
“An authority on the labor market, Krueger devoted his research to the impact of minimum wage concluding that a higher minimum wage didnt generally slow hiring as critics have argued.”
Answer is, a search for the article title on FR wasn't done prior to posting. But I bet you won't get an answer.
Whoah that one slipped under the radar didn’t it.
He had nice family good health and wealth i wobder what demons he had
Paul Kruger was one of Obama’s top go-to advisors (Kruger being a suited Marxist), as well as Rahm Emanuel’s brother Ezekiel (whose suggestions for medial care amounted to death sentences for many), and a few others, mainly far-left fools with PhD after their names.
Didn’t know anything about Krueger and now that he is gone, I could care less.
Those who served Obama served Mamon and are getting what they deserve, nice guys or not.
Sorry to be harsh on these people, but they stuck with an American-hating Marxist SOB, Obama, and by doing so, they betrayed America and its great people.
In WW2 they were called “Nazi Collaborators”. Today they are hailed as “Obama’s brain trusters”.
Homey don’t buy that crap at all!
