Friday’s e-links 12/24

I cannot think of a better combination than Freakonomics economist Steve Levitt and Harvard’s Claudia Goldin. On Levitt’s podcast, he spoke with Dr. Goldin for close to hour about her research on women in labor markets. Ranging from “greedy work” to education, the discussion looks at the history of the gender wage gap and why women choose certain jobs. Conveying a half-century perspective, the podcast is the ideal summary of what working women cope with.
