More than 20 states and DC have their own paid family and medical leave laws, creating a patchwork of coverage that’s difficult for employers to administer. Our paid family leave experts Justis Antonioli, Emily Wielk, and Julie Anderson outline how a voluntary national standard could help employers and employees. https://bit.ly/3T3rSEL #Bipartisan #PaidFamilyLeave #MedicalLeave

Election officials' roles are increasingly complex and demanding, requiring specialized knowledge and skills to be successful. Yet election officials lack their own occupational category in the Office of Management and Budget standard classifications, and are mentioned only as an example within the broader “Information and Record Clerks" category. That's why Bipartisan Policy Center recently submitted public comments to OMB urging the creation of a new Minor Group specifically for election administrators. This change would formalize the profession, more accurately reflect their responsibilities, and enable better labor and market analysis in the future. Our comments were endorsed by more than 20 members of BPC's Task Force on Elections and Election Workforce Advisory Council. Read the full comment here 👇

There are more people with some college no credential in America than there are members of AARP. Yet, this population has often been overlooked by policymakers and institutional leaders. Tens of millions of individuals in this group are part of the way to: ➡ Filling large and worsening workforce gaps ➡ Attaining greater financial security ➡ Achieving their and their family's dreams I'm proud of the work ReUp Education, our partners, and colleagues like Tristan Stein at the Bipartisan Policy Center are doing to shed light on this group and the opportunities they represent.

Our American Congressional Exchange visited Little Rock, Arkansas, to dive deep into workforce, health, and AI policy with Reps. French Hill (R-AR), Ami Bera (D-CA), and BPC’s Marilyn Serafini. Through discussion with local experts and stakeholders in Little Rock and surrounding communities, Hill and Bera—who serve together on the bipartisan House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence—deepened their relationship and laid the groundwork for bipartisan work back in Washington on AI, behavioral health, and more. The trip included: ✅ Started the day at the Little Rock Regional Chamber for a discussion on the regional economy and the evolving role of AI in the banking and financial services sectors, led by Chamber VP Buckley O'Mell and BOND.AI's Rajesh Chokhani and Uday Akkaraju. ✅ Tour of the Port of Little Rock, a critical economic engine for the region that provides jobs for over 4,500 employees in advanced food products, chemical and machinery manufacturing, and more. ✅ Tour of Dassault Falcon Jet's Completion and Heavy Service Centers and discussed the role of AI technology in aviation engineering and manufacturing. ✅ Meeting with leadership and practitioners from UAMS - University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Arkansas Pharmacists Association, Arkansas Children's Hospital, Arkansas Center for Health Improvement, CHI St. Vincent, Baptist Health, Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and Centene to discuss AI applications across the healthcare industry and federal regulatory frameworks for the next generation of AI-enabled tech. ✅ Marilyn Serafini led a discussion at Unity Behavioral Health on behavioral health integration and services, addressing shortages in behavioral health specialists, youth mental health, and sustainable funding mechanisms. ✅ Visit to Walmart's Searcy, AR, distribution center to learn how AI, autonomous vehicles, and other technologies are changing the way retailers transport and distribute their products.

Let's talk about Social Security's cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs). The method SSA uses to calculate annual COLAs leaves *absolutely no way* for benefits to lose value. Mechanically, inflation cannot outstrip COLAs—SSA calculates COLAs to precisely match inflation. (The exception is when year-over-year price levels decline, which last happened in 2009. When that happens, beneficiaries gain purchasing power because COLAs cannot be negative). A recent (deeply misleading) report pointed to the fact that COLAs have been lower than annual inflation in half of the past 15 years. Well, that's because SSA calculates the next year’s COLA based on inflation from the third quarter of the previous year to the third quarter of the current year. It does this so that it can implement the COLA on January 1 of each year, but it doesn’t change the fact that *COLAs account for a full year’s price increases.* Because of this, you would expect COLAs (reflecting Q3-to-Q3 inflation) to be larger than annual (Q4-to-Q4) inflation about half the time and smaller about half the time, which is exactly what the report finds. There is some disagreement among policy experts over which measure of inflation SSA should use to calculate COLAs—some think benefits should grow slightly faster and some think benefits should grow slightly slower. But even if you use the more generous measure—a research index called the consumer price index for Americans 62 years of age and older, or CPI-E—monthly benefits in a beneficiary’s 20th year of retirement will only be 4% higher than they are under the current measure—nowhere near the ~20% this report found. In addition, if you look at the current price situation, of the three expenditure categories folks point to as being especially important to older Americans (medical care, housing, and energy), only housing is running hotter than overall inflation at the moment, and only bit a small amount! What's more, CPI-E has quite a few limitations, and it would probably actually skew COLAs in the *wrong* direction because it doesn't take into account the fact that consumers are pretty sophisticated, and when prices rise, they change their spending behavior. I've written a bit about that here: https://lnkd.in/e_g8Jefi. #socialsecurity #colas #retirement #costofliving #inflation Bipartisan Policy Center

I enjoyed this discussion with S&P Global on their Energy Evolution podcast. We covered the growing commercial and policy interest in Direct Air Capture. I emphasized the importance of #carbonmanagement and #carbonremoval in our energy and climate strategies. #DAC, along with other removal pathways including biomass, will have an important role to play. These issues are on our agenda at the Bipartisan Policy Center. Link below - check it out! https://lnkd.in/eJxQCCu7
Direct air capture may sound like science fiction, but investors are taking it seriously
