Most of the people I have recently interviewed, when asked what their goal was, said, "I want to be challenged and happy to go to my job". Putting together the right team is a real challenge but a happy team, no matter what, makes a great team!

How Hollywood Women Will Benefit From California's New Fair Pay Act
|
|
Nelson Granados, Forbes
[On October 6th,] California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a bill that changes the Fair Pay Act to eliminate the gender wage gap in California.

Tannenbaum Helpern Syracuse & Hirschtritt LLP
