In New Hampshire, 2 percent of working women earn more than $100,000 a year, 8 percent of CEOs are women, 58 percent of current college graduates are women, 67 percent of workers at or near minimum wage are women. These are the findings of new study on the Economic Status of Women in the Granite State. We'll take a closer look at what the report found, where women are doing well, where they aren't, and what the economic status of women means for the health of the state. Laura is joined by Ross Gittell, Professor of Management at UNH's Whittemore School of Business and Economics and Marjorie Smith, State Representative from Durham and Chair of the New Hampshire Women's Policy Institute.
