Host Dan Loney talks with Peter Cappelli, Professor and Director of Wharton’s Center for Human Resources, and Harry Holzer, Professor at the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University and former Chief Economist for the U.S. Department of Labor in the Clinton Administration, to discuss the reasons why incomes aren’t up and what can be done about it.
