ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- March 14 marks Equal Pay Day, which is dedicated to raising awareness of the gender pay gap. But how much of a gender pay gap is there? Proposed legislation could answer that question. Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal is sponsoring legislation that would require companies that do business with the state to disclose any pay gaps that may exist. "So that New Yorkers can see if their tax dollars dollars are going to companies with disparities in employee pay not just by gender by race or ethnicity as well," he said. The bill was passed in both houses last year but then vetoed by the Governor.

ST. LOUIS - One day before their record-setting home-opener win last weekend, the St. Louis Battehawks spent time embracing a St. Louis tradition. Many players, coaches and staff members paid a visit to the Gateway Arch. As part of the experience, visitors must ride up and down a decades-old Arch tram to see St. Louis from the top.

These California cities have the worst air pollution in the nation, study says

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:42:43 GMT

Two California cities were ranked among the worst places to live in the U.S. based on air pollution, which probably isn’t surprising to many Golden State residents.A recent study published by The Guardian shows that the Bakersfield and South Los Angeles areas in California are the top two places with the worst air quality in the U.S.Bakersfield took the top spot, while the South L.A. area, which includes cities like Compton, Maywood and Paramount, took the second spot.The report was based on an air quality model researchers at various institutions, such as the University of Washington, developed. Although researchers collected this data from 2011 to 2015, experts say that air pollution patterns usually remain steady and unchanged for years. Researchers found that the Bakersfield area had the worst air quality in the nation, mainly due to its “unlucky location.”Air experts told The Guardian that the city is “surrounded by mountains that trap toxic farming chemicals, dust, truck and t...
