The Family Squeeze

Fridays, 12:30-1:30 Eastern Time
Work is a double-edged sword. It can bring enormous benefits-income, self-esteem, stability. But the joust comes with costs. An imbalance between work and life can be unhealthy-both for the worker and the worker's family. Businesses need healthy workers and, increasingly, employers are seeking new ways to provide a balance between work and life. Families are often squeezed in other ways, particularly when there is too little or no work and when federal and state budget cuts drain funding for vital work supports that help families keep a balance. This audio conference series explores the squeeze on families, particularly low-income families, and looks at ways to restore a healthy balance. Join in the calls and hear guests Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (D-LA), along with a host of policy experts.
Registering is easy. Listen live or on tape to the whole series or order individual calls. When you order online, your discounts are calculated automatically.
