The Conservative Argument for Workers

Oren Cass, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of The Once and Future Worker: A Vision for the Renewal of Work in America  (Encounter Books, 2018), offers a conservative’s pro-workers agenda.

"I propose... a wage subsidy. In effect it’s the opposite of a payroll tax.... If you’re working at a low wage, we're actually going to put more money into your paycheck. We can start to make those jobs, even if they’re not high paying or high skill, look attractive," @oren_cass.
