As we inch closer to the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel and passage of “The American Rescue Plan,” President’s Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid relief package and first big legislative win, where does the economy stand? Which groups and sectors have been most affected by the Covid economy and what will be the impact of this newest Congressional measure? How long will “recovery” take, and what will a post-pandemic economy and the future of work look like? Join us as we dive deeper into these questions, the answers to which impact all of us but in very different ways. This event continues a new spring series, Examining the First 100 Days of the Biden Administration, focusing on the most important developments in the early days of the Biden Administration. Guest speakers over the semester examine the ability of the 46th President and his team to affect change in some of the most vital policy areas that impact all of us. _Presented by the Suffolk University Department of Political Science & Legal Studies, in collaboration with the Ford Hall Forum at Suffolk University and hosted by GBH’s Forum Network._ ### Resources Read Eduardo’s “How the American Unemployment System Failed,” [here](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/21/business/economy/unemployment-insurance.html?searchResultPosition=2).
