Closing Wage Gap with Local Ordinances.

What is happening? NYC is considering requiring all job postings to list salary ranges in an effort to close the wage gap.

Why is this important? It comes from a female Councilmember who in the 1980s learned of the salary of a male colleague in the same position of hers who was making roughly $12,000 more than she was. He told his employer he had a family to take care of, and was paid more.

How will this be important? This mindset continues today.
