In the midst of the pandemic, one of the hardest hit segments of our population are older workers.
 
Elise Gould and I have written a series of reports for EPI showing that seniors are largely unable to telecommute because of the nature of their work, putting them at increased exposure to COVID-19; highlighting how the CARES Act has been an important lifeline for many households, but its temporary economic support doesn’t do enough to protect older workers; and offering a detailed look at what type of stimulus would most help seniors.
 
Our nation is at a crossroads. The pandemic has forced a re-imagining of what our economy looks like and how it should function. Now, more than ever, we need EPI's critical economic research to guide policymakers on how to protect working people in the midst of this crisis.
 
Now, we have some good news: Our friends at CREDO Mobile have selected EPI to receive a share of $150,000 in funding this month. The more votes we get the larger share of funding we receive. So, we are not asking for donations. But we do need you to take a moment and vote for EPI today!
