LAWRENCE
MISHEL
President
of the Economic Policy Institute (EPI - Washington D.C.)
presented
"Waging Inequality in
America"
Lawrence Mishel came to the Economic Policy Institute in 1987. As
EPI's first research director, then as vice president, and now
president, he has played a significant role in building EPI's research
capabilities and reputation.
He has researched,
written, and spoken widely on the economy and economic policy as it
affects middle- and low-income families.
He is principal author of
a major research volume, The
State of Working America (published every even-numbered year
since 1988) which provides a comprehensive overview of the U.S. labor
market and living standards.
A nationally recognized
economist, Mishel is frequently called on to testify and provide
economic briefings to members of Congress and appears regularly as a
commentator on the economy in print and broadcast media. He recently
published a paper outlining a plan to stimulate the economy, which was
widely adopted by policy makers in Washington and beyond.
