DOL Hosts Hearing
The New York State Department of Labor hosted two Gender Wage Gap public hearings to collect testimony that will shape its 2023 report on how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted women in the workplace and the gender wage gap. The NYS DOL report, titled “The Impact of COVID-19 on Women in the Workforce with an Update on 2023 Gender Wage Gap,” will be released in March 2023. It builds on the findings of the 2018 Gender Wage Gap report, co-chaired by Governor Kathy Hochul and Commissioner Reardon, which included a number of policy and programmatic recommendations to close the wage gap.
