ABSTRACT
The corporate economic cost of this behavior is becoming more and more evident. In 1994, the Wall Street Journal reported the average sex discrimination/harassment verdict awarded in 1993 exceeded $255,000. Awards to some victims have run into the millions of dollars. For example, a freight clerk at Wal-Mart in Missouri was awarded $5 million after her supervisor made crude comments about her body and Wal-Mart management failed to take corrective action.
