The Truth About the Wage Gap | Money With Katie Podcast

Why does the wage gap persist, despite both legislation and a cultural shift that encourages women to participate in the workforce with the fervor of a thousand exploding suns? The gap has barely budged over the last decade or two, stagnating somewhere in the low 80% range.
I had to crawl into some objectionable online spaces that are expressly “anti-women” to find out (so you don’t have to!)…and the consensus I found there was dizzying.
I'm also joined by Ellevest's CEO Sallie Krawcheck—and, I have to say, this conversation is a must-listen.
