"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

The first is a story about a company called Trusted, which offers on-demand child care and decided to hire all of its employees from the start.

The CEO of Trusted, Anand Iyer, calculated he would actually save money by hiring employees instead of getting gig workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the logic. In the short term, employees cost a business more. Companies have to pay higher taxes and offer benefits like workers’ compensation.

And \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/10/technology/a-start-up-shies-away-from-the-gig-economy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here’s a piece\u003c/a> about a real estate company called Redfin that hires its agents in an industry where they are usually independent and earn commissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Employee Vs. Contractor\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some gig workers are railing against how little they are paid and the way they are treated by their companies. Lawsuits have\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/13/uber-lawsuits-619-million-ride-hailing-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> piled up\u003c/a> against companies like Uber, TaskRabbit and others. One of the main issues is that workers believe they are being misclassified as independent contractors when they’re really employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an important distinction. As employees, workers have access to more benefits like workers’ comp and potentially a company health care plan. They also pay less in taxes. Independent contractors face higher tax rates. They can lower how much they pay by working some deduction magic come tax time, but that itself takes time and work. For gig workers, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/04/15/uber-lyft-gig-workers-face-tax-problems/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it can be especially complex\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palak Shah is from the National Domestic Workers Alliance and oversees the \u003ca href=\"http://www.goodworkcode.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Good Work Code\u003c/a>. It’s a set of guidelines for treating workers well in the digital age. Shah says employment is generally a better deal for workers than gigs are, but she says handing out W-2s does not automatically fix the generally precarious position of workers in the gig economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The W-2 status can serve as a really important floor,” Shah says, “but there’s a lot of other dimensions like safety and shared prosperity and whether the voices of workers are heard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shah says workers in the gig economy often aren’t getting a big share of the prosperity, have limited voice and suffer a large amount of instability. The rules can change overnight for gig workers, and they can start taking home less income or have less flexibility. See \u003ca href=\"http://ssl.marketplace.org/2016/05/10/world/instacart-workers-feel-sting-pay-restructure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this story about Instacart\u003c/a> workers for details. The unpredictability for gig workers is the flip side of doing a job for companies where you can work just by switching on an app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Switching Gears\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Trusted is no Uber. It’s infinitesimal by comparison. It has a little seed money and is just getting started in the Bay Area. It remains unclear if its model will make it successful or allow the kind of growth that has made other gig companies so attractive to investors. But at the same time, some of those gig companies that drew investment have now ditched the gig model altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shyp and Sprig are two examples of companies that began with an “Uber for X” gig workforce model and now hire their workers. Shyp is an on-demand parcel shipping service and Sprig does food delivery. We talked with Shyp’s CEO, Kevin Gibbon, about why the company made the shift to employees and what that has meant for his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon ends the interview by bringing up another economic worry with the contractor model: lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon says investors are starting to question whether a new venture can handle the kind of employment lawsuits Uber is battling. Does the new company have the funds to be sued over something like misclassifying workers?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gig companies have to make the argument that the short-term economic return of a flexible, contingent workforce is worth the cost of lawsuits, churn and looming uncertainty over the legality of the gig labor model. Gibbon thinks that is a harder sell to investors than it used to be a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon says the employee model works for Shyp in part because it allows for better customer service. Workers can be trained to give clients what they want. Even with something as simple as shipping a package, this is vital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Gibbon has this advice for new companies offering on-demand services: Consider actually hiring your workers. It will cost more in the short term, but it could end up saving you a bunch of money in the long run.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/10/technology/a-start-up-shies-away-from-the-gig-economy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here’s a piece\u003c/a> about a real estate company called Redfin that hires its agents in an industry where they are usually independent and earn commissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Employee Vs. Contractor\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some gig workers are railing against how little they are paid and the way they are treated by their companies. Lawsuits have\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/13/uber-lawsuits-619-million-ride-hailing-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> piled up\u003c/a> against companies like Uber, TaskRabbit and others. One of the main issues is that workers believe they are being misclassified as independent contractors when they’re really employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an important distinction. As employees, workers have access to more benefits like workers’ comp and potentially a company health care plan. They also pay less in taxes. Independent contractors face higher tax rates. They can lower how much they pay by working some deduction magic come tax time, but that itself takes time and work. For gig workers, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/04/15/uber-lyft-gig-workers-face-tax-problems/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it can be especially complex\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palak Shah is from the National Domestic Workers Alliance and oversees the \u003ca href=\"http://www.goodworkcode.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Good Work Code\u003c/a>. It’s a set of guidelines for treating workers well in the digital age. Shah says employment is generally a better deal for workers than gigs are, but she says handing out W-2s does not automatically fix the generally precarious position of workers in the gig economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The W-2 status can serve as a really important floor,” Shah says, “but there’s a lot of other dimensions like safety and shared prosperity and whether the voices of workers are heard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shah says workers in the gig economy often aren’t getting a big share of the prosperity, have limited voice and suffer a large amount of instability. The rules can change overnight for gig workers, and they can start taking home less income or have less flexibility. See \u003ca href=\"http://ssl.marketplace.org/2016/05/10/world/instacart-workers-feel-sting-pay-restructure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this story about Instacart\u003c/a> workers for details. The unpredictability for gig workers is the flip side of doing a job for companies where you can work just by switching on an app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Switching Gears\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Trusted is no Uber. It’s infinitesimal by comparison. It has a little seed money and is just getting started in the Bay Area. It remains unclear if its model will make it successful or allow the kind of growth that has made other gig companies so attractive to investors. But at the same time, some of those gig companies that drew investment have now ditched the gig model altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shyp and Sprig are two examples of companies that began with an “Uber for X” gig workforce model and now hire their workers. Shyp is an on-demand parcel shipping service and Sprig does food delivery. We talked with Shyp’s CEO, Kevin Gibbon, about why the company made the shift to employees and what that has meant for his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon ends the interview by bringing up another economic worry with the contractor model: lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon says investors are starting to question whether a new venture can handle the kind of employment lawsuits Uber is battling. Does the new company have the funds to be sued over something like misclassifying workers?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gig companies have to make the argument that the short-term economic return of a flexible, contingent workforce is worth the cost of lawsuits, churn and looming uncertainty over the legality of the gig labor model. Gibbon thinks that is a harder sell to investors than it used to be a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon says the employee model works for Shyp in part because it allows for better customer service. Workers can be trained to give clients what they want. Even with something as simple as shipping a package, this is vital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The bank adopted a somewhat aggressive clawback provision in 2013 that would apply to Tolstedt as a highly paid executive.

The bank will also pay $35 million to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and $50 million to the City and County of Los Angeles. It will also pay restitution to affected customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roughly 5,300 employees at Wells Fargo were fired in connection with this behavior, according to the city attorney's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo has said it regrets \"any instances where customers may have received a product that they did not request\" and that it has refunded $2.6 million in fees associated with products that were opened without authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bank's shares dropped more than 2 percent to $47.12 in morning trading Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

However, the margins of error are larger if focusing on smaller subgroups, especially racial or ethnic subgroups. These are equal or less than +/- 16 percentage points for African-Americans, and 10 percentage points for Latinos or those of “other races/ethnicities” (including Asian-Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and those of mixed race/ethnicity).
