Women in New York Still Earn Less Than Men, NYC Mayoral Candidate From Russia Says

NEW YORK (Sputnik) – Women in New York make less money than men, Vitaly Filipchenko, a candidate to become the next New York mayor after incumbent Bill de Blasio, told Sputnik in an interview.

According to the Russian immigrant, there is also age discrimination in New York.

Filipchenko went on to say that many New Yorkers had lost their jobs because of age, the COVID-19 pandemic, and business problems.
