Appearances
Hi, I'm Tess Vigland, and As We Work, people are talking more about whether to talk about how much money they make.
This is As We Work from The Wall Street Journal, a show about the changing workplace and everything you need to know to navigate it.
You just heard from Amon Coleman, a caregiver from Alaska, Linda Cipriano, an executive assistant from New York, Adrienne Richburg, a publicist also from New York, and Eva Allen, a paramedic from Virginia.
We talked to them on the streets of New York City.
As they told us, talking about pay is controversial.
Coming up on the show, the role of the pay stub in our lives, why we don't talk more about it with our friends, and how we see ourselves in those numbers.
Happy Pay Equity Week.
It's that wonderful time of year when some women finally catch up with how much men made last year.
For the average female worker, it's taken more than two months to equal what their male counterparts made in 2021.
Are you celebrating?
I'm not.
Because A, why does this even exist?
And B, women of color have to wait even longer.
This year, it's May 3rd for Asian American and Pacific Island women, September 21st for Black women, November 30th for Native American women, and December 8th for Latinas.
That's according to the American Association of University Women.
Pay equality and equity, not just for women, are part of the reason there are growing calls to make it easier to see how much money people make.
Several states and cities are passing pay transparency laws that are upending the negotiation game between employer and potential employee.
And some workers aren't even waiting for corporations and governments to get on board.
They're publicly posting their wages and salaries in an effort to bring equity to the compensation process.
Victoria Walker is one of them.
