Why Minnesota’s wage gap persists and what it will take to change it
The wage gap facing women in Minnesota has barely budged in more than a decade. Coming up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with two nonprofit leaders about how they think mentorship can help close it.
And we want to hear from you, too.
Have you seen the wage gap play out in your own workplace or career? What did that look like? Who helped open the door for you in your career and what difference did it make?
Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
Guests:
-
Ethelind Kaba is the executive director of the Ann Bancroft Foundation, a nonprofit that works to empower girls to achieve their highest potential and dreams.

Gloria Perez is the president and CEO of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota. She is a former president and CEO for the Jeremiah Program, a nonprofit that aims to end poverty for single mothers and children.
