Very delayed thread about last month's terrific Liberal Arts College Labor and Public (LAC-PaL) Conference held at @Smith_Economics with support from @AmherstCollege Econ. We had 37 in-person & 15 virtual attendees, and 2 days of terrific presentations and conversations!

These gains were concentrated among poorer families and Black families.
