Native Americans Too Often Left Out of Economic Debate

Raising workers' voices to make sure they are heard in the economic policy debate.

It’s a pleasure to listen to and I learn something new each episode. It’s also great to hear some perspectives that you don’t get to hear often.  Highly recommend.

A really informative and interesting podcast!

Uber and the Gig Economy Fallacy

The U.S. manufacturing has been shrinking sharply in recent decades, but it’s not an accident or a historical inevitability. In Episode 4 of the State of Working America Podcast, host Pedro da Costa talks to Mickey Ray Williams, a Firestone plant worker in Gadsden, Alabama, about his experience of over two decades in the sector. The second portion of the show is an interview with Rob Scott, EPI’s director of trade policy. __ Follow EPI on Twitter: https://twitter.com/EconomicPolicyFollow Pedro da Costa: https://twitter.com/pdacostaFollow Rob Scott: https://twitter.com/robscott_epi __ The State of Working America Podcast is part of EPI’s effort to raise workers’ voices to ensure they are heard in the economic policy debate.
