Walt Disney has agreed to pay $43.3 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its female employees in California earned $150 million less than their male counterparts over an eight-year period, the plaintiffs' lawyers said in a statement on Monday. … The case was also supported by an analysis of Disney's human resource data from April 2015 until December 2022 that found female Disney employees were paid roughly 2% less than their male counterparts. The analysis was conducted by David Neumark, a University of California, Irvine professor and labor economist.
