Groundwork Collaborative and the Economic Policy Institute invite you to join a conversation with author Arin Dube to celebrate the release of his new book, The Wage Standard: What's Wrong in the Labor Market and How to Fix It (Dutton, Penguin Random House). Dube takes readers through the shifting terrain of the American economy to examine what broke our labor market and how we can rebuild the wage standard right now.
“The go-to guy on minimum wage,” according to Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman, Dube has spent more than two decades investigating why the labor market can stop working for so many and how to address these challenges. The Wage Standard offers both a clear-eyed diagnosis and a hopeful, evidence-rich blueprint for building a labor market that works for all.
We’re thrilled to bring you this conversation, where leading economic experts from Groundwork Collaborative and the Economic Policy Institute will join Arin Dube to discuss the significance of this book, how it helps shape the future of labor, and what his years of research have revealed. Attendees will receive a free copy while supplies last.
ARINDRAJIT (ARIN) DUBE is Provost Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and research fellow at the Institute for Labor in Germany. He has testified before Congress, consulted with the UK government, provided counsel to many state legislatures, and is invited to speak about his research around the world. Dube publishes consistently in top economics journals, such as the Quarterly Journal of Economics, American Economic Review, Review of Economics and Statistics, and American Economic Journal. He has written opinion pieces for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and has been interviewed extensively on radio and television programs, including NPR, MSNBC, CNBC, and Bloomberg TV.
