*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Closing The Gender Wage Gap Author: Leonard Lopate Show Source: WNYC *Date:* July 13, 2017 Summary: Claire Suddath <http://www.wnyc.org/people/claire-suddath/>, a writer for Bloomberg Businessweek, joins us to discuss her recent piece: "Why Can't Your Company Just Fix the Gender Wage Gap?" <https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-06-21/why-can-t-your-company-j…> She examines why the gender wage gap is illogical and economically hurts everyone. Full-time working women in America earn roughly 80 percent of what men do. Through her reporting, Suddath explores what is generating this inequality, and why it’s remained relatively unchanged for the past 20 years. *Link: *http://bit.ly/2h36eBd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library
