The IWPR/Rockefeller Survey of Economic Security is the first to ask workers whether there are policies at their work places that discourage or prohibit sharing information about pay. Respondents with jobs were asked to indicate which of the following statement best characterized their work place: a) wage and salary information is public; b) wage and salary information can be discussed in the workplace; c) discussion of wage and salary information is discouraged by managers; d) discussion is formally prohibited, and/or employees caught discussing wage and salary information could be punished.
