Gender discrimination

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is struggling to get data that shows how bad sexual harassment might be on Wall Street.

The agency would be subject to congressional and White House oversight; American customers will be able to send money to 200 countries.

It’s tough enough to grapple with sexual harassment in the workplace. It’s more complex when clients are involved.

Bank of America pays female staff in Britain 28.7% less on average than male employees, according to a report released Tuesday.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. pays women in the U.K. an average of 56% less than male colleagues, another stark example of the entrenched gender imbalances in the richest corners of the global economy.

The gap, already more than three times the national average, will widen to 60% this year, the company said in a report Thursday.

An unprecedented, industrywide survey of sexual harassment in the professional workplace reveals industries with the highest prevalence of unwanted sexual behavior, the differences between large and small companies, and blind spots that may be preventing corrections. Fortunately, the data also lights a path forward.

From inappropriate touching to belittling comments, women advisors confront workplace environments that are far from welcoming.

Many workers in the technology departments across a range of industries describe behavior that may fall short of a legal definition of sexual harassment, but is still disturbing and could contribute to low employee morale and high turnover.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and two colleagues are seeking more information from securities regulators about whether Wall Street firms are covering up signs of sexual harassment.
