This is the fourth conversation in a roundtable series in 2012 titled "Reinventing Low Wage Work: Ideas That Can Work for Employees, Employers and the Economy." Low wage jobs are a growing part of the U.S. economy, and AspenWSI is excited to continue this conversation about the nature of low wage work, the challenges it presents to workers, businesses and the economy, and the opportunities we have for addressing these challenges at the Aspen Institute at a time when jobs and the economy are such critical topics for our country.
