How is Lexington Addressing Wage Growth for Low Wage Workers?
Manage episode 323963442 series 3099053
In November of 2018, CivicLex distributed a city-wide survey asking what residents considered to be major issues within twelve sectors of city government and policy.
When we looked at the survey responses, we found that respondents placed wage growth for low wage workers in Lexington as their priority issue.
In this episode, we interviewed Dustin Pugel, a policy analyst at the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy, about wage growth in Lexington and the state, and Elodie Dickinson, the city's Workforce Development Program Manager, about the program and how it's helping workers in the city.
