How Georgia’s Labor System Should Work for Angela

This week, we met Angela. She is working full-time, raising her family, and still living one missed paycheck away from crisis.
In this episode, we go deeper.
We examine how Georgia’s labor systems actually shape Angela’s life: unemployment insurance that moves too slowly, training programs that don’t accommodate working parents, weak wage enforcement, and benefits cliffs that penalize progress.
This isn’t about personal choices. It’s about how systems are designed and what it would take for them to actually work for people like Angela.
