INDIANAPOLIS and BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Strengthening the U.S. economy is among the top priorities for President-elect Joe Biden. The U.S. Congress is gridlocked over a stimulus to support Americans struggling with unemployment, evictions and utility shut-offs tied to or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. With some states imposing new lockdowns and restrictions due to spikes in cases, Indiana University experts are available to provide analysis of steps Biden might take and the challenges he might face, once he is sworn in, to improve the economy. Contact Mary Keck at 812-856-2148 or [email protected] or Marah Yankey at [email protected] or 812-856-1442.
