In this week’s episode, we explore a variety of topics including the aftermath of the Baltimore bridge collapse, legal challenges to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new climate disclosure rule, and how China maintains an advantage by labeling itself as a developing country. We are joined by Liya Palagashvili from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, where we discuss job trends, the distinction between full-time and part-time work, contract and gig work, California’s Assembly Bill 5 experiment, recent actions from the Department of Labor, and the importance of flexible benefits for all workers.
