The staffing industry, like many others, faces a challenge: women and people of color generally earn less than white men do for the same work. Join the American Staffing Association (ASA), Women’s Business Collaborative (WBC), Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), TechServe Alliance, and the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS) on Oct. 28 from 3-4 p.m. ET for a webinar: Pay Inequity in the Staffing Industry—A Panel Discussion.

During this webinar, Leslie Vickrey of ClearEdge Marketing will facilitate a panel discussion including such participants as Eric Gregg of ClearlyRated, an ASA corporate partner—he’ll review data on the pay inequity in the industry, including survey findings that show that pay inequity increases as women rise within the staffing industry. Leslie and Eric will be joined by Sunny Ackerman of SThree, Melissa Byington of Supplemental Health Care, and Janette Marx of Airswift who will discuss trends in pay and how the industry can do better to improve the pay gap between men and women in staffing.
