from Two Broads Talking Politics · host Kelly & Sophy
Veteran business journalist Marcus Baram, whose career includes tenures at the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, ABC News and Fast Company, joins Kelly to discuss Capital & Main's new series, “The 50-100 Pay Gap,” which will delve into the stunning finding of a recent study by the RAND Corporation -- that a full-time worker earning the median income of $50,000 today would be making $100,000 if the nation’s economic growth had been shared over the past 45 years as broadly as it was from the end of World War II until the early 1970s. The cost of living continues to rise dramatically and Americans’ wages are not keeping pace, earning half of what they deserve.
