Economic Policy Institute
The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) is an independent, nonprofit think tank established in 1986 and based in Washington, D.C. It focuses on researching economic trends and policies that impact working Americans, with particular attention to labor markets, wage growth, and inequality. EPI aims to inform policymakers and the public to promote broadly shared prosperity, emphasizing policies that support the middle class and protect low-wage workers. EPI produces a variety of research and analysis, including reports, policy briefs, and data tools on topics such as minimum wage, trade, education, and healthcare. The organization also provides advocacy support by offering data and analysis to unions and policymakers to help advance worker-friendly legislation. Additionally, EPI engages in public education efforts, collaborating with journalists to make complex economic data more accessible. Its primary audiences include policymakers, unions, journalists, and the general public, all of whom benefit from EPI's data-driven insights and resources.
