Prof. Jill Hasday Quoted by Star Tribune About Income Disparities in the Workplace

Professor Jill Hasday was quoted in a Star Tribune story about income disparities in the workplace. The story detailed how the gender pay gap exists at all income levels, but widens as women earn more, and that race exacerbates the disparity. Prof. Hasday said that in addition, while Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits sex discrimination in employment, lawsuits resulting from it are rarely a good option. Not only are they difficult to win, she said, but they come with significant financial, emotional, and career costs. “There can be a lot of discrimination and very few suits.”
