JARED BERNSTEIN
Thursday, May 1 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall Seattle, 1119 Eighth Avenue

Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. What is a living wage? Is Social Security really going bust? Does hiring immigrant workers really undercut native-born workers? Jared Bernstein, director of the Living Standards program at the Economic Policy Institute, answers these questions, and more, in Crunch: Why Do I Feel So Squeezed? (And Other Unsolved Economic Mysteries) (Berrett-Koehler). "Crunch is an accessible explanation of economic principles presented with equal parts of insight, humor, and stimulation. In the process, Bernstein explains how we got to where we are, what to do to fix it, and why fighting for a fair society is so important." – John Edwards. $5 at the door (no advance tickets), with preferred seating for Town Hall members. Town Hall Seattle is located at 1119 Eighth Avenue (entry downstairs on Seneca). For more information, please see www.townhallseattle.org, or call Town Hall at (206) 652-4255, or Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600.
