Company Profile
Economic Policy Institute
Company Overview
The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank created in 1986 to include the needs of low- and middle-income workers, women workers, and workers of color in economic policy discussions. EPI believes every working person deserves a good job with fair pay, affordable health care, retirement security, and the power to bargain effectively for their fair share of wealth and income. EPI uses the tools of economics to achieve these goals, conducting research and providing data and analysis that informs and shapes the way the people in Washington, DC and in state capitals across the country think about the economy and economic policy. EPI’s research helps policymakers, opinion leaders, advocates, journalists, and the public understand the bread-and-butter issues affecting working people. EPI uses its research and analysis to effect change through long-standing relationships with policymakers and the media, through a wide network of researchers and scholars at top universities, through our network of state-level EPI-type groups, the Economic Analysis and Research Network (EARN), and through strong partnerships with foundations, unions, and grassroots advocacy organizations.
