Discussing all things school-related on “Chalk Talk.” Occupational segregation in California’s workforce. Finally, the Sac Halloween Show performs this weekend at the Red Museum.

Educational ‘Chalk Talk’

It is back to school season here in the Sacramento region. On the first edition of the recurring segment “Chalk Talk,” CapRadio Sacramento Education Reporter Srishti Prabha joins Insight to talk about our local schools, and the policies and developments that affect students.

Organizational Segregation in CA Jobs

California is one of the most diverse states in the country, and its overall workforce largely reflects this demographic variety. However, many of the state’s most common professions are significantly less diverse, with divisions across gender, race/ethnicity, and place of birth.  Researcher Tess Thorman from the Public Policy Institute of California talks about this “occupational segregation,” the negative impacts it can have on wages and job opportunities, and how policy might be able to provide some solutions.
