Americans: if you are sick with fever/cough/ flu symptoms, please don’t go to work!

Here’s something that works
Final report from a large, 3-year RCT by @MDRC_News, measuring the impact of expanding the EITC for adults w/o children.
Effects were modest on average, but among more disadvantaged men the EITC increased (on-the-books) employment by 10% by year 3.
