In April 2020, the unemployment rate skyrocketed to 14.7% as a result of pandemic. But the majority of working Americans were already struggling before the pandemic, with many families reporting having less than $400 emergency savings. How did we get there, and what can be done to address unemployment and underemployment? Professor Michael Graetz, co-author of The Wolf at the Door: The Menace of Economic Insecurity and How to Fight It, discusses the underlying causes of the vast economic insecurity among American workers and explores some of the politically feasible (and unfeasible) programs and policies to address the growing problem.
