The gender pay gap is a persistent problem that has existed ever since women entered the workforce. Women are paid less than men who perform the same tasks in the same roles. Feminists across the U.S. have worked to eliminate the pay gap, but progress is as unequal as our wage standards. This is demonstrated in a new map by Qualtrics who highlighted the states and counties that have made the most progress in closing the gender pay gap.

Brands take years to build up this kind of brand recognition and approval alongside investing in marketing. But no marketing tactic is as powerful as widespread favorability that spreads through word of mouth.

Prior authorization process automation is a process that helps to guide insurance companies when determining whether or not to cover a procedure, service, or medication. This process is currently largely manual, which causes delays and errors for all involved.

To achieve industry standards for efficiency and productivity, businesses must heavily invest in their internal technology. While this is crucial for all areas of the business, the human resources (HR) department boasts some pretty incredible transformations from their adoption of this tech.

In order to improve educational attainment and economic stability, Kentucky has started the 60x30 program, which aims to increase the number of adults with postsecondary degrees to 60% by 2030. Currently, 55% of the state’s population has a degree or credential. This presents a concern for the job market in the near future, as it is projected that 63% of jobs in Kentucky will require a degree by 2031. Kentucky is already in the top 10 states for job vacancies, and this problem will be exacerbated without increasing educational attainment.
