New research shows that not only are women making less than men, but the gender gap grows as we get older. 25-year-old women out of college make 89 cents on the man’s dollar. But that drops to 57 cents by the time women reach age 45! Dr. Brittany Nelson-Cheeseman, advisor to the society of women engineers chapter at the University of St. Thomas, is here to talk about how we can encourage girls and women to close the gender pay gap. WCCO's Esme Murphy talks with Jane E. Kirtley, J.D. - Director, Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota.
