About this episode
Inside the Pay Gap: What’s Changing for Women at Work
Host: Steve Boese
Guest: Noreen Farrell, Executive Director at Equal Rights Advocates
Summary
On this episode of At Work in America, Steve is joined by Noreen Farrell from Equal Rights Advocates to break down what’s really happening with pay equity, transparency, and workplace fairness right now.
As policy enforcement shifts and cultural expectations evolve, they explore why progress on gender and racial equity is becoming more uneven—and in some cases, reversing. From the widening pay gap to the pressures pushing women out of the workforce, this conversation connects the dots between legislation, workplace practices, and lived employee experience.
It’s an honest look at where things stand, what’s at risk, and what organizations can do to move forward with intention.
