The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) will honor former U.S. Secretary of Labor Dr. Ray Marshall together with Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize winning economist and op-ed columnist for the New York Times, at its 25th Anniversary Dinner event on Nov. 1 in Washington D.C.
Dr. Marshall was one of the original founders of EPI in 1986. He also served in two Presidential administrations; first as U.S. Secretary of Labor under the Carter administration and then as a member of the National Skills Standard Board and the Advisory Commission on Labor Development in the Clinton administration. In 1970, Dr. Marshall established the Center for the Study of Human Resources while he was teaching at the University of Texas in Austin. In 1999, the Center was renamed the Ray Marshall Center to honor his retirement from teaching at the University.
Dr. Marshall serves as senior advisor at the Ray Marshall Center, Audre and Bernard Rapoport Centennial Professor (Emeritus) of Economics and Public Affairs at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas in Austin, and is a Distinguished Fellow and member of the board of directors of the Economic Policy Institute.
