About this episode

 

Corporate profits and stock valuations continue to climb. However, American workers receive the smallest share of economic output since World War II.

Meanwhile, record corporate profits expand this divide. Thousands of Amazon and Walmart workers rely on SNAP and Medicaid. So, in this episode of the Workplace Minute, Steve Boese highlights what employers and policymakers can do to build economic progress for everyone.
