NJ Transit said it issued $1.4 million in raises to female and minority workers last year to comply with New Jersey’s new pay-equity law. That money went to more than 200 workers, or about 11% of the nonunion employees at the transit agency, one of the nation’s largest bus and rail systems. NJ Transit disclosed the figures in response to a public records request by The Wall Street Journal.
