Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan released an advisory report from the Oregon Audits Division today examining the impact of House Bill 2005, also known as the Pay Equity Bill. The report finds that despite progress, wage gaps in the state workforce persist six years after the legislation was signed into law.   
 
“We’ve made progress,” said Secretary Fagan. “Agencies have implemented best practices that could reduce wage gaps over time and many state employees saw their pay go up during two rounds of adjustments. On the individual level, that matters a lot. However, this report shows at the macro level we’ve still got work to do to address persistent wage gaps in our society.”
