Americans are holding over $1.7 trillion of student loan debt, two-thirds of which is held by women, totaling about $929 billion, according to the American Association of University Women. The group's CEO Gloria Blackwell and Yahoo Finance's Ronda Lee join the show to discuss why women are entangled in this financial burden and how the gender pay discrepancy will have a massive impact this October, when student loan repayments resume. Blackwell details ways in which both the government and businesses can enforce and reform policies that alleviate this burden including "making sure that workplaces are equitable" and "that we move forward in pushing the Paycheck Fairness Act, for example, which will really strengthen the protections that were put forth in the Equal Pay Act."
