The Work Behind The Work is a WorkingNation podcast about why raising children in America has become so difficult, and what that reveals about our entire economy.

Host Melissa Panzer, an executive producer at WorkingNation and a mom, herself, will explore the growing strain of raising children in America and what that reveals about our entire economy. Episodes will discuss how rising costs, lack of support, and cultural expectations are pushing families to the brink. Birth rates are falling. Care is unaffordable. And the long-term consequences are already unfolding.

This is not just a parenting problem. It is a national economic warning.
