Rellie Derfler-Rozin, associate professor at the Management and Organization Department at the Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, talks about her research on hiring bias. She is joined by Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economics and director of the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis at The New School, who explains New York City's new wage transparency law, which will require jobs posted in the state with four or more employees to list salary ranges.
