Summary

This adds the downstream policyengine-us input variables needed for ORG-backed data:

  • hourly_wage
  • is_union_member_or_covered

Why

These inputs are populated by the companion policyengine-us-data PR that adds ORG labor-market imputations to CPS and eCPS.

That companion change materially improves the modeled overtime deduction on published eCPS weights:

  • 2026 overtime deduction tax expenditure rises from $9.63B to $14.56B
  • that is +$4.93B or +51.2%

Caveat: that comparison is on the published eCPS weights with ORG overlaid, not a fully regenerated Enhanced CPS artifact.
