NJ: New Jersey Policy Perspective
New Jersey Policy Perspective is a respected, nonpartisan think tank that has been conducting research and analysis of fiscal policy in New Jersey since 1997. NJPP’s focus is on tax and budget policy as well as fiscal policy as it relates to working families. Among the successful efforts to advocate for progressive solutions to fiscal issues was NJPP’s support for an increase in the minimum wage to exceed the federal minimum wage in 2006. NJPP has also been active in working with the NJ Time to Care Coalition in supporting the successful effort to make New Jersey only the second state with a paid family leave law, and NJPP continues to study the effectiveness of the program and to advocate for its expansion. NJPP is also actively involved in the coalition’s work on paid sick days.
