Economic Policy Institute (EPI) | Vibepedia

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that focuses on research and advocacy for low- and middle-income workers. Founded in 1986, EPI has carved out a distinct niche by consistently producing data-driven analysis that challenges prevailing economic orthodoxies, particularly those favoring corporate interests. Their work often highlights issues like wage stagnation, income inequality, the decline of unions, and the impact of trade and globalization on American jobs. EPI's research is frequently cited by policymakers, journalists, and labor organizations, making it a significant voice in public discourse on economic fairness.
