Happy Labor Day everyone! On this holiday we are celebrating American workers here on the Utterly Moderate Podcast! We are joined today by Chad Stone, the chief economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, and Emily Guendelsberger, author of On the Clock: What Low-Wage Work Did to Me and How it Drives America Insane. We discuss the plight of American workers today with a specific focus on the working class.  Episode music: “Please Listen Carefully” by Jahzzar (creative commons) “Make Your Dreams Reality” by Scott Holmes Music (creative commons) "Steppin' In" by Podington Bear (creative commons) “Happy Trails (To You)” by the Riders in the Sky (used with artist’s permission)  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
