About

EPI uses the tools of economics to bring the interests of low- and middle-income workers into economic policy discussions. EPI's rigorous research and transformative ideas fortify worker organizing, build a shared understanding of how power and policy shape economic outcomes, and help drive progressive policy change at every level of government. We partner with national and state grassroots organizations, academics, and labor unions to advance our mission.
