The State of Working America Podcast
News:Politics
Season six of the podcast presents a series of discussions about economic issues related to the election. In this episode, EPI's Executive Vice President Naomi Walker is joined by Chandra Childers, senior policy and economic analyst with the Economic Analysis and Research Network (EARN), to discuss this history and impact of the Southern economic development model. Southern politicians claim that “business-friendly” policies lead to an abundance of jobs and economic prosperity for all Southerners. But is that true? The data actually show a grim economic reality.
