In Episode 16 of Battleground Ohio, UBE Founder and CEO Devin Cotten shares the vision behind Universal Basic Employment and why he believes access to meaningful, living-wage work should be a cornerstone of anti-poverty policy. The conversation explores how UBE's employer-driven model aligns public resources with private-sector jobs, creating better outcomes for workers, businesses, and taxpayers while reducing long-term reliance on public assistance. By challenging conventional approaches to economic mobility, the episode offers a compelling look at how bold, evidence-based policy can reshape the future of work in Ohio and beyond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C4it4lTwAM
