Pew Study: Pay gap is closing, minority women aspire to reach top jobs
There's good news for women in the workplace. A new study by the Pew Research Center finds that the pay gap is closing between men and women, especially for millennials.
A new Pew Study shows that the gender pay gap is closing, though challenges lie ahead. It also found that minority women aspire to be boss at higher percentages than white women.

There's good news for women in the workplace. A new study by the Pew Research Center finds that the pay gap is closing between men and women, especially for millennials.

Kim Parker, associate director of the Social & Demographic Trends Project at the Pew Research Center, joins the show to explain these results.
