To help break that down, we speak with Rachel Greszler, an economist at The Heritage Foundation; Nebraska small business owner Kevin Barnhill; New York business magnate John Catsimatidis; and Jacob Vigdor, who studied what happened in Seattle after a large minimum wage hike there in 2016.
We also ask Americans across the country what they think about raising the minimum wage, in our favorite recurring feature, "America Q&A."
Then, we look at Amazon’s business culture and why it just doesn’t jive with unions, according to Robin Gaster, who wrote the book on Amazon, “Behemoth, Amazon Rising.”
In our second "America Q&A," we ask Americans what pandemic-related changes they think will be permanent.
Finally, we talk to two very special guests about the remarkable documentary, “The Prison Within.” Filmmaker Katherin Hervey and ex-felon and crime victim Troy Williams take us inside California’s infamous San Quentin maximum-security prison. There we learn about a program where felons and crime victims walk together on a powerful journey of mutual-healing.
