Women, on average, make 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. And women of color make even less than that.
This hour, we take a look at the role greater pay transparency can play to address the wage gap in our country. Advocates in Connecticut say that listing starting salaries publicly for open positions is a step towards evening the playing field.
We want to hear from you, too. Do you have salary transparency at your workplace?
