Women, on average, make 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. And women of color make even less than that.

This hour, we take a look at the role greater pay transparency can play to address the wage gap in our country. Advocates in Connecticut say that listing starting salaries publicly for open positions is a step towards evening the playing field.

We want to hear from you, too. Do you have salary transparency at your workplace?

GUESTS:
Maya Raghu - Director of Workplace Equality and Senior Counsel at the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC)
Madeline Granato - Policy Director at the Connecticut Women’s Education and Legal Fund (CWEALF)
Tyler Falk - Reporter covering public radio for Current, an independent trade publication that covers public media
