Financial issues can be confusing—especially when there aren’t many places working folks can get unbiased, reliable information about investing and financial security.

We know that working families around the country face tough financial issues and would like good, honest, fair information. That’s why the National Labor College and the AFL-CIO have partnered to provide resources and answers at our new website: NLC InvestEd.

Visit our new website to learn about investing, good vs. bad debt and much more.

Most of us never had anyone take the time to teach us about the financial implications of credit card debt, a birth, a death, a wedding, a divorce or retirement. This is because there isn’t much financial education in the United States and most of it is by salespeople who would like us to buy their products.

NLC InvestEd is one of the few no-nonsense sites out there that isn’t promoting a financial product. It exists to help working families understand the concepts and tools that enhance everyone’s financial security, both now and in the future.

Some of the topics covered include:

• Buying a home,
• Children,
• College,
• Foreclosure,
• Loss of a loved one,
• Paying off debt,
• Retirement and
• Weddings.

Head over to NLC InvestEd and check it out.

As working people, our financial security is under threat and the AFL-CIO knows that having better information about financial issues is one more way we can push back. If you have questions about this new project, reply to this message and we'll do our best to answer them.

In Solidarity,
