This week’s episode of our podcast covers a diverse range of topics, including the rebuilding efforts following the Baltimore bridge collapse, legal challenges to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new climate rule, and China’s strategy for maintaining an edge by identifying itself as a developing country.

During our interview, we discuss employment trends, full-time vs part-time work, contracts and gigs, the California Assembly Bill 5 experiment, recent actions by the Department of Labor, and the importance of flexible benefits for all workers.
