Working Life Podcast

Episode 94: Yesterday was Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, the day that signifies how long it would take for an African American woman to work in 2018 to equal the *2017* pay of a white male counterpart. I noted this day a year ago in Episode 41—and come back to it today in conversation with Valerie Wilson of the Economic Policy Institute. And it isn’t just black workers facing racism: Hispanic workers face similar bias, which is what I discuss with Marie Mora, who is with the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley and co-author of a new EPI report. Our Robber Baron of the week is the CEO of Kimberly Clark.
