The Economy and Its Consequences

49th National Association for Welfare Research and Statistics conference

This video features the July 13 morning plenary roundtable on "The Economy and Its Consequences," part of the 49th National Association for Welfare and Statistics conference. The Institute joined the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance to co-host the conference, July 12-15, at the Crowne Plaza in Albany. The conference brings together representatives from federal, state, and local government, from universities, and from the private and nonprofit sectors, representing the full spectrum of human services programs, to discuss the latest on efforts to reduce poverty and increase self-sufficiency. It is the first time the conference has been held in New York.
