Economic Policy Institute"The Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a non-profit, non-partisan think tank, was created in 1986 to broaden discussions about economic policy to include the needs of low- and
middle-income workers. EPI believes every working person deserves a good job with fair pay, affordable health care, and retirement security. To achieve this goal, EPI conducts
research and analysis on the economic status of working America. EPI proposes public policies that protect and improve the economic
conditions of low- and middle-income workers and assesses policies with respect to how they affect those workers."
