Google refuses to hand over salary data after Labor Dept accuses it of underpaying women
Google is refusing to hand over salary data to the government after the Labor Dept accused it of underpaying female employees. The _WSJ_ reports that the government sued Google back in January after an initial analysis suggested a problem.
Google says that an internal analysis shows no gender pay gap, and gave three reasons for refusing to comply with the demand for the data.
Google is one of a number of tech companies where women are underrepresented in the workforce, with female employees making up just 31% of the employees. An investment firm which has pushed for greatetr salary transparency in tech companies says that it’s no longer good enough to rely on internal analysis.
