Exploring Job Trends and Labor Issues: Insights from the Mercatus Center’s Liya Palagashvili and Brad Polumbo on This Week’s Podcast

The upcoming episode of this week’s show will tackle a range of topics, including the rebuilding process following the Baltimore bridge collapse, legal challenges to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new climate disclosure rule, and how China maintains an advantage by classifying as a developing country. We are excited to feature 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 significance of flexible benefits for all workers.

Our previous episodes have delved into topics such as paying for organs, defending election integrity, free markets and the common good, being politically homeless, federal tech, federalism, understanding AI, public health, and economic freedom culture. Join us for our next episode with guest Brad Polumbo from Based Politics and the Damage Control podcast.
