Women outnumber men in the workforce. We earn more college and graduate degrees. We’re the primary breadwinner in 40% of families. And yet, we still earn about 80 cents for every male dollar — and for women of color, the gap is even wider. In this episode, Jennifer + Rachael consider why the gender wage gap is so hard to shrink, what role pay negotiating plays and share their holiday plans for Equal Pay Day (March 31).
