we also say hello to veronique de rugy. thank you for being with us, as well. when we had that big, broad topic, what is the most important issue of their right now? guest: well, i think actually the thing that i would like to start with, and to emphasize how good women have it up -- have it as opposed to the last 60 years. i think a lot of the topics we have on this issue tend to treat the problems as if we haven't made any progress. but we have. and quite spectacular ways. i think it is really worse -- worth pointing that women graduate at higher rates even than men. and i think there are women who enjoy a lot of flexibility with work. and to the extent that they face this issue, i honestly think it is not so much about gender, so much as about the state of the economy. and a handful of issues that men face, like underemployment, a slow economic recovery, lower wages, and things like this. but i don't know it is quite specific to women, like the bigger issue that i see about the labor markets. host: and what do you see on their? guest: i think veronica is rig

. >> we also say good morning to veronique de rugy. thank you for being with us as well. >> thank you for having me. >> when we have that broad topic, the state of women in the u.s. on the what is the most important issue out there to you >> i think that that the thing i would like to start with an emphasized his how good the women have it as opposed to the last 60 years, a lot of the conversation we were having on this issue tends to treat the problems as if we have this and i think it is really worth pointing to it at higher rates of graduation of women versus men, more than ever i think a lot of women enjoy flexibility at work. and i think it's not so much about gender as it is about the state of the economy and there are times when men face unemployment and recovery and lower wages and i don't know that it's quite specific with the bigger issue that i see on the labor market. >> there has been incredible progress to women over the past 50 years. but i don't think that we have come far enough. and we just sent a report out this week
