    LIVE WEBCAST -- The future of the middle class
    Featuring keynote remarks by Vice President Joe Biden

    When: Tuesday, May 8, 2018, 9:00 — 11:45 a.m. EDT

    Where: https://www.brookings.edu/events/the-future-of-the-middle-class  

    What: 

    An era of rapid change in the economy and how we work—from automation to the gig economy—is transforming the middle class. As the benefits of our changing economy become less and less evenly distributed, many middle class Americans are feeling left behind.

    On May 8, the new Future of the Middle Class Initiative at Brookings and the Biden Foundation will co-host a forum on the Future of the Middle Class, featuring a keynote address by Vice President Joe Biden. 

    The first panel—moderated by Camille Busette, director of the Race, Prosperity, and Inclusion Initiative at Brookings—will discuss the many ways we define “middle class,” and how middle-class challenges are experienced differently across various demographics. The second panel, which will be moderated by Ben Harris of the Biden Foundation, will detail barriers to competition in the workforce and identify forward-looking proposals to improve conditions for the American middle class.
