BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It . . .
This week at CBPP, we focused on state and federal budgets and taxes and on the economy.
- On state budgets and taxes, Wesley Tharpe underscored how states’ recent tax-cut spree has created big risks for families and communities.
- On the federal budget and taxes, we released a Spanish-language version of our backgrounder on where federal tax dollars go.
- On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available per state.
