On Tuesday, September 12 at 12:30 p.m. Eastern, the Economic Policy Institute will hold a media teleconference to discuss the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2016 data on income, poverty, and health insurance. Economists Elise Gould, Valerie Wilson, and Josh Bivens will discuss key trends in incomes and wages—including whether the excellent wage growth seen in 2015 continued under the last year of Obama administration—and assess what the yearly data tell us about the state of the labor market.

EPI will release a series of analyses after the Census report is issued, including a “By the Numbers” guide and a look at income and wage trends by race and ethnicity.
