Room 9.64 NB
This talk will explore today’s changing economy and the future of work by exploring how structural imbalances - rising corporate power and long diminishing worker power- has created the conditions for economic insecurity. Despite a seemingly robust and healthy economy, as indicated by headline measures like rising GDP growth and low unemployment, workers across America are struggling. Real wages are stagnant, workplaces are increasingly fissured, and workers have less bargaining power, all while the wealthy few hoard the economic gains of a high-profit economy.
Rakeen Mabud is a fellow at the Roosevelt Institute. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian, The Hill, and Teen Vogue, and she is a Forbes contributor. Before moving to New York, she worked in the Obama administration Treasury Department on economic policy.
