Sharmili Majmudar is the executive vice president of Policy and Organizational Impact for Women Employed, an organization that pursues equity for women in the workforce by effecting policy change, expanding access to educational opportunities, and advocating for fair and inclusive workplaces so that all women, families, and communities thrive.
It happens all the time—and it’s a major reason that, even though we’ve made progress since your mom entered the workforce a generation ago, the gap between what women and men make, across the board, is definitely not closing fast enough. And while that gap gets wider for women as they age, it is not (just) your mama’s problem.
And we want to work just as hard to make sure you know about your new rights. So we’ve put together a tool kit with all the information you need to know about the new No Salary History law, including what you can do if you still get asked about your past wages when applying for a job. This tool kit has information that’s just as important to share as any interview tips you give your friends as they’re pursuing that job you’re cheering them on for.
