Tomorrow Today, at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., some of the nation’s leading economists, educators and union leaders will take part in a special panel discussion, “Jobs, Inequality and the Role of Government: Improving the Economic Competitiveness and Innovative Capacity of the U.S.”

Panelists will discuss the crucial challenges to the nation’s competitiveness and capacity for innovation and outline an agenda for meeting those challenges.

Early this year, President Obama released an updated “Strategy for American Innovation” and the Department of Commerce was tasked with a comprehensive study of the economic competitiveness and innovative capacity of the United States. An Innovation Advisory Board of leaders in academia, business and labor was created to work in consultation with the Department of Commerce on this important report.

The Communications Workers of America (CWA)—which has a seat on the Innovation Advisory Board—is co-sponsoring this conference with Georgetown University’s Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor and the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR).

The panel runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Georgetown University Law Center. For more information and to register, click here.
