Not Working: Solutions to America's Underemployment Crisis
Nicholas Kristof, Rev. Greg Boyle, Alan Krueger, Kris Stadelman, Cyrus Vance, Jr., Scott Walker, David Batts
The discussion outlines a shifting U.S. labor landscape defined by an underemployment crisis driven by population aging, skill obsolescence, and systemic barriers in the criminal justice system. Speakers contrast failed national approaches with successful state-level interventions, citing Wisconsin's strategies of workforce development and Wisconsin's restoration of pension systems to achieve a top-10 national participation rate. The panel concludes with a consensus on the necessity of comprehensive, trauma-informed policies targeting early childhood, prison education, and localized service hubs to leverage an emerging labor shortage for social rehabilitation.

Governors Address Challenges Facing States
Eric Schmidt, John Hickenlooper, Terry McAuliffe, Rick Scott, Scott Walker
Governors Rick Scott, Scott Walker, John Hickenlooper, and Terry McAuliffe convened to discuss distinct state-level strategies for economic growth, ranging from Florida's tax-cut model and Wisconsin's fiscal stabilization to Colorado's workforce adaptability and Virginia's international trade focus. Despite operating in opposing partisan environments, these leaders emphasized a unified shift from job creation to filling vacancies by prioritizing apprenticeships, dismantling federal mandates on healthcare and infrastructure, and challenging anti-capitalist sentiment through high-wage employment. The panel concluded that states must serve as "laboratories of democracy" to craft granular solutions for environmental and social issues while advocating for federal devolution of authority to maximize efficiency in workforce development and public safety.
