“I talked to quite a few companies that had cut pay and you can do it without people thinking of it as a punishment and without having a disastrous effect on the morale of the employees if it's clear that the pay cut will save a lot of jobs," said Truman Bewley on the latest episode of "The Work Goes On."

Economist Andrew Zimbalist, author of “Baseball and Billions” and a leading voice on sports economics, joins Princeton's Orley Ashenfelter to discuss the business of baseball, the UFC's monopsony power over fighters, and the future of college athletics.

“You can hire a statistician for much, much, much less than you can hire a baseball player. And because statisticians are so much cheaper, teams are continuing to do it. So, an average team in baseball now probably has an analytics department of eight to 12 people.”
