The Obama administration is poised to announce a plan requiring employers with 100 or more employees to disclose worker pay by gender, so that feds can determine if discrimination is at play.As the Wall Street Journal reported, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is going to give details of this plan on Friday.

The plan is open to public comment but won’t need congressional approval to enact. FULL REPORT
