The State of Working America Podcast is part of the Economic Policy Institute’s effort to raise workers’ voices to ensure they are heard in the economic policy debate.

Core topics include workers' rights, inequality, race, gender, labor markets, education, and immigration, but we're interested in all things related to social justice.
