Google agreed to pay $118 million to settle a long-running pay-equity case …. The gender discrimination suit, Ellis v. Google, had been pending since 2017. The settlement covers around 15,500 women employees with over 200 job titles in California since September 2013. According to University of California, Irvine economist [and Distinguished Professor] David Neumark, the tech giant paid women almost $17,000 less than men with the same title.
