The Leonard Lopate Show | Jul 12, 2017

Claire Suddath, a writer for Bloomberg Businessweek, joins us to discuss her recent piece: "Why Can't Your Company Just Fix the Gender Wage Gap?"

Through her reporting, Suddath explores what is generating this inequality, and why it’s remained relatively unchanged for the past 20 years.
