Harvard Business Review: How Proposed SEC Disclosure Requirements Could Help Workers

Lisa LaViers, assistant professor of accounting, contributed the opinion piece "How Proposed SEC Disclosure Requirements Could Help Workers" to Harvard Business Review.

These numbers would be much more meaningful to workers attempting to assess employee satisfaction.
