sears. a 2020 report found that nondiscrimination protections would result in the addition of hundreds of thousands of new jobs and millions of dollars added to the gdp in tax receipts. i think you kind of alluded to that when you mentioned, and i was really surprised, you said one-third of lgbtq workers will take -- they'll take a one-third pay cut to go to a friendlier state. is the reverse true, with texas passing a really horrible anti-trans bill this last session, can we expect people to leave the state because we're now becoming more and more unfriendly? >> the short answer is yes, absolutely. i've just spent this last week in california, meeting with leaders in the tech community, and the texas bill in particular, and there are eight other states that have passed anti-trans bills specifically around youth, those bills specifically came up in the tech community, as we saw in north carolina when hb 2 passed, whether it's paypal or salesforce, so many companies decided not to invest in n

sears has just kind of teed up here? >> yeah, so there is a significant information gap about lgbtq people because there is inadequate data collection of sexual orientation and gender identity in federal surveys, so it is important for all data collections, where we are examining economic well-being but really just our communities overall that we include questions that ask people about their gender, their gender identity, their sexes assigned at birth and their sexual orientation, and that would vastly improve our understanding of the unique circumstances that lgbtq people experience. and also, it's important to include these in enforcement data collectionn such as home mortgage disclosure act or forth coming 1071 data collection for small businesses. >> thank you, and mr. sears, what steps can financial institutions take to support the under banked communities. your thoughts in that arena. >> very least, looking at the policies, one ofew my colleague mentioned lgbtq people excluded from so many policies, hsp life a good

sears, and to all of the expert witnesses today. i cannot tell you how informative, how needed, and how impressive you were in providing information to us and with that said, i now recognize myself for five minutes for questions. we've heard a lot about the exclusion and the impact as it relates to employment, as it relates to housing, as it relates to finances and a whole host of things. earlier in my opening statement i talked about being at the metro school. there was a young black man that came up to me who i had mentored. and he shared his experiences over the last few years. and i want to say to him, thank you. thank you for your work. and thank you for your paper, in writing about how we are still dealing with racism. and how we are still evaluating efficacy of initiatives. and let me share with everyone this quote. he said, for example, financial support of the initiatives are not always present in the amount that's needed. we heard that from you. one of the most frequently reported suggestions for better efficacy and equity

it was called dean witter sears or something. stanley brokers, but in the old days you could go to a sears outlet and buy a stock. it was kind of a weird hybrid company and never really got its mojo back after it started breaking apart. so i think this is a little better, and i think -- liz: the six degrees of separation. peter cohen worked at dean witter. [laughter] >> yes, i know that. and, you know, here's the thing, i think between peter cohen and -- now, not officially in there on every sentence here, but he's in the background. i think that and smith being a very, very tough activist investor, he looks for undervalued companies that have lousy management, and he looks to fix. i think that'll be an interesting, this could be an interesting play. now, the question is -- and i don't know, you know, because they haven't really said anything publicly, you know, except for behind the scenes which i'm getting, is, you know, is he going to lay people off at those stores, are they going to downsize in any way. we don't know that jus

sears. >> given that question and the work you're doing in philadelphia -- thank you for that question and the work you're doing in philadelphia. thank you for the support. quite a tremendous leader in our community and in your state. to your question i was a several things, if you look at the number -- i'll take it out of lgbtq. minorities start more businesses at a rate almost double that of the average population. why is that? because of discrimination that exists in corporate america structure despite the fact 92% of fortune 500 companies have nondiscrimination policies. we often work in states that do not have that as a trickle-down. even the trailing spouses of people protected by the fortune 500 do not experience that same protection in the state in which they live. the reason for the small businesses i think is number one based on that most of them when they get into the marketplace, look at the access of discrimination that exists with laws that allow people to deny service and deny

another big catalogue and the man from sears and roebuck waited till the water house catalog came out. and then he took his and he took an inch off each frame or each side because he said when they, when ladies who were in the neat business with their household go to stack these, they'll always put the smaller one on top and you'll be able to see sears and roebuck, i had to put the books reading and say, that is changing. honestly, that is so funny because it is all psychology in a lot of what people do, what they buy, what they put around, you know, back to are noted. i was trying to think, i can't think of what is there so many other things where i look at the product like a rinse and repeat. they're telling you to do something again, but now i can't think of it. and i think the same thought is you, i think you have to do this, this is just the, you use it up bad. but not coming to me. i hate to get glengarry glen ross, but coffee as for closer isn't whoever put that thing at the that said repeat, that's a stone killer. let's go to some point. i love the new. i love the new rubric t

sears just two? >> there is a significant gap because there is inadequate data collection of sexual orientation and gender identity in federal surveys. it is important for all of data collection were we are examining economic well-being. just communities overall, that we include questions that ask people about their gender identity, their sex assigned at birth, and their sexual orientation. that would vastly improve our understanding of the unique circumstances that lgbtq people experience. also, it is important to include these in data collection such as the mortgage disclosure act or a forthcoming data collection for small businesses. rep. wagner: mr. sears, what action can financial institutions take? >> looking at the policies. lgbtq people are still excluded for so many policies. they rewrote the definition of insurable interest to expand that definition to include lgbtq families in places like asia where they have no relationship recognition. if you look at the policies of these institutions, t

winsome sears and the senator both say we should not be using race as a political weapon.o you feel like that is where too much of the debate is about? racism is a serious issue. we need to stop it but we need to take care of that and the problem with inflation and jobs? >> 100%, liz. and you know what? the president campaigned on the notion of rebuilding america, bringing america back, ending the divisiveness and all he has done is add more to it. his speech in georgia last week basically said if you're not with him on this policy you're a racist. that does not bode well and it is just one more thing that is causing his approval rating to be one of the lowest we've seen in the first year of any president. so it is time to bring america together and talk about the issues that america really cares about. elizabeth: you know, when you read through his speech, congressman, to mitch's point, and i've read through it, the team read through it, many on my team have read through it, we understand what the president is saying about vote reform. the question is, what voters have be
