Pay transparency. The WhatsApp and Instagram decision. Our beef with screwworms.

In this episode of The Indicator from Planet Money, Darian Woods, Wailin Wong, and Nick Fountain discuss three indicators of the week. The first indicator is 2.5%, the average amount wages have changed following pay transparency laws. The second indicator is $4 an hour, which is what some participants in a study were paid to use Facebook and Instagram less, a study that helped Meta in an antitrust lawsuit. The third indicator is 16.6%, the percentage increase in the price of steak over the last year, which is partially due to the screw worm fly and efforts to combat it.
