This week saw the passing of “Equal Pay Day,” which marks the culmination of the roughly three extra months that an average female employee had to work in 2019 to match the amount of money made by an average male worker in 2018. Many people see the pay gap as unjust, but is it really a result of rampant sexism in the workplace as the critics allege? A survey unveiled on Tuesday by CNBC and Survey Monkey suggests that, actually, both men and women are equally pleased with their employment situations and the earnings gap can largely be explained by women being more likely on average to choose part-time work. We should take a clear-eyed view of the data and recognize the remarkable gains women have made in the workplace.

The Legislature could cause a Washington exodus, especially in the east
Legislative leaders recently asked Eastern Washington business leaders an important question: “how are people over there feeling about what we’re doing this session. Good?” Frightened might be more accurate. I’ve been the Eastern Washington director of Washington Policy Center for a decade, and never before have I heard so many people genuinely concerned about what is happening in Olympia. Never before have I heard so many seriously considering moving their family or business out of state. It’s no longer just mild frustration. The concern is now deep, real and problematic.
