On the whole, the U.S. economy has been faring well in recent years – especially when compared to the dark days of the pandemic. That said, the situation average workers find themselves in varies widely from state to state and one where things remain mired well below average is North Carolina. Indeed, a recent report by the group Oxfam America ranked North Carolina as the worst state in the country for working people.

As advocates at the North Carolina Justice Center point out in their new “State of Working North Carolina” report, however, it doesn’t have to be this way and the solutions here are not mysterious or complicated. What’s more, doing better by workers would actually lift the entire economy. Recently to learn more, Newsline sat down with the co-director of the Center’s Workers’ Rights Project, Ana Pardo.
