 After 30 years at the Economic Policy Institute -- 15 as president -- Larry Mishel is stepping aside at the end of this year. Taking over as EPI’s next president is economist Thea Lee, who served most recently as deputy chief of staff at the AFL-CIO. “I’m delighted to join EPI’s diverse and talented team of economists and researchers,” said Lee. “Together, we will build on EPI’s impressive body of empirical research and insightful policy analysis and arm policymakers and advocates with the tools they need to fight and win key battles on behalf of all working people at this challenging moment in history.” Lee joins EPI on November 1. photo credit: Lingjing Bao, Talk Radio News
