Having greater access to salary information is helping speed things up. A new research report by the American Association of University Women shows that the wage gap tends to be smaller in job sectors where pay transparency is mandatory: For example, among federal government workers, there's just 13 percent pay disparity between men and women, and in state government, it's about 17 percent.
For far too long, the idea of sharing how much you're paid has been off-limits, kind of like talking about what you weigh or the balance of your 401. But that culture of secrecy makes pay discrepancies difficult to detect. If employees aren't aware of who's earning what, it's hard to know when someone—a woman, for instance, or a person of color—is being shortchanged.

Around the country, states have been passing equal pay provisions that prevent employers from forbidding or punishing workers for sharing salary information with their colleagues—a practice that until recently was far too common.
