Questions to the Economist expert and their responses

Q1

What is the reasonable measure of lost wages for a worker who is terminated because of illegal discrimination?

I understand the nature of the case, and can comment on wages lost as a result of illegal discrimination. I would analyze factors including her previous salary, along with any other factors that would determine how much she should have been receiving. I am an economist, and I have performed thousands of lost earning calculations, which have been utilized in courts around the United States. I have provided deposition and trial testimonies in more than 125 instances over a period of fourteen years of practice.
