Let that sink in...
We are so inspired by Christina Koch and all the women working at #NASA who have made the Artemis II mission possible.
Their work is expanding what’s possible and reshaping who gets to be part of the journey. 🚀
It’s Just Math. #swishWhen women basketball players in the WNBA union came to the bargaining table to negotiate a new contract, they had a powerful ally: the Nobel Prize-winning economist Claudia Goldin.
Goldin, 79, is a Harvard economist who has spent decades studying women’s labor-market participation and outcomes. She won the 2023 Nobel Prize in economics for her groundbreaking research, making her the first woman to win the economics prize solo.
And like most Nobel winners, Goldin was inundated with media requests and people asking for her expertise. She accepted only three, according to the Wall Street Journal. Advising the WNBA union was one of them — and Goldin insisted on doing it for free.
The new contract includes a nearly 400-percent pay raise for players, which Goldin said is not only historic for the league but also believed to be the single largest pay increase a union has negotiated.
“It’s astounding,” she told the Journal.
Women’s professional basketball has exploded in popularity in recent years, but players have long said their salaries, benefits and working conditions haven’t kept pace.
After months of high-stakes negotiations, the new WNBA union contract includes increases to base pay and bonuses, a major TV rights deal and more protections and resources for parents and pregnant players.
Terri Carmichael Jackson, the executive director of the WNBA union, said Goldin’s laser focus on the numbers and the data helped keep union members motivated through the negotiations.
“Each time we were just fighting and resisting and so upset with the league’s response or lack of response, and she’d say, ‘It’s just math,’” she told the Journal.
