Employment

The Building on Benefits research agenda examines ways to improve employer benefits so these benefits promote financial stability for low- to moderate-income (LMI) workers and their families.

Through research, we assess whether such programs offer a promising strategy for building financial security among workers.

The WFSI team is conducting a survey of 350 small business owners (SBOs) in customer-facing (e.g., food services, childcare) industries which have experienced revenue decreases and missed loan payments above the national average

The Workforce Economic Inclusion and Mobility (WEIM) project is designed to comprehensively examine the financial vulnerability of low-wage workers in the U.S. The research will contribute to identifying public and private sector innovations that improve financial security and economic mobility for low-wage workers in the U.S.
