Week No. 5: Fixing What’s Broken: Pandemic Economy
Thursday, March 18, 2021
Live at 6:00 pm
This event is free and open to the public.
As we begin to inch closer to the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel and with the passage of “The American Rescue Plan,” President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief package and first big legislative win, where does the economy stand? Which groups and sectors have been most ravaged by the Covid economy and what will be the impact of this newest measure from Congress? How long will “recovery” take and what will a post-pandemic economy and the future of work look like? Join us as we take a deeper dive into these questions, the answers to which will impact all of us, but in very different ways.
This event continues a new spring series, No. 46: Examining the First 100 Days of the Biden Administration, that focuses on the most important developments in the early days of the Biden Administration. Guest speakers over the semester examine the ability of the 46th President and his team to affect change in some of the most vital policy areas that impact all of us.
