Despite this, millions of hard-working Americans struggle to get ahead or save for the future, and the federal government’s poor fiscal health leaves us ill equipped to protect those left behind. BPC works to find solutions to these problems, from strengthening retirement security, to securing economic opportunities for the future, and dealing with our nation’s exploding debt. Our goal is to help policymakers remove obstacles to economic growth and improve shared prosperity for all.Penny illustration composed of pieces of the Bipartisan Policy Center logo arches.Penny composed of parts of the BPC logoLatest News and Reports on EconomyThe Future of the World Trade OrganizationEventDeficit TrackerReportNew BPC Survey Underscores Americans’ Financial Fragility, Demand for Workplace and Policy InnovationBlog PostEducationOn both ends of the education spectrum, Americans are getting squeezed, whether from the challenge of finding quality, affordable child care or managing the burden of student debt from higher education.
