A California lawmaker’s proposal would publicize the pay scales at thousands of companies and temp agencies nationwide, requiring large businesses to report breakdowns by gender, race and ethnicity
“Hiding the data doesn't get us anywhere,” said state Sen. Monique Limón, a Santa Barbara Democrat who introduced the bill, in an interview. | Rich Pedroncelli/AP PhotoLOS ANGELES — California could be on the verge of cracking open a closely guarded secret: how much your co-workers make.
“It’s very simple: You can’t solve a problem where you can’t see the data,” state Sen. Monique Limón, a Santa Barbara Democrat who introduced the bill, said in an interview. “Hiding the data doesn’t get us anywhere.” The scale of that imbalance is staggering: Data collected by a state agency under California’s 2020 pay-disclosure lawthan men in comparable positions during 2020, while people of color were paid $61 billion less than white workers for similar jobs.
Such policies force organizations to address salary disparities, said Laura Kray, director of UC Berkeley’s Center for Equity, Gender, and Leadership, who pointed to gender-pay reporting requirements in the United Kingdom and Denmark.
