Thursday, September 6

Room: National Harbor 11


Topics: Jobs & Income, Policy & Advocacy, Racial Wealth Equity


With stagnant wage growth and the loss of good jobs in the wake of the Great Recession, more and more families are faced with volatile incomes, financial insecurity and an inability to get ahead. In this session, national experts will discuss emerging new ideas for raising household incomes, such as universal basic income, a federal jobs guarantee, and universal child allowances. In addition, the speakers will explore the relationship between these strategies and opportunities to build household wealth.
