The gender wage gap is the difference between what women and men earn for performing full-time, year-round paid work. In Utah, women earn approximately 30% less than men, ranking close to last in most state comparisons. In October of 2021, the UWLP published a research snapshot on the gender wage gap in Utah, updating the original report that was released four years ago. This episode explores some of the highlights of the report with Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project; Rebecca Winkel, Senior Economic Advisor for American Petroleum Institute; and Dr. Emily Swensen Darowski, Assistant Librarian in the Lee Library at Brigham Young University.
