‘Fearless Girl’ firm’s bia$ rap

The financial firm behind lower Manhattan’s “Fearless Girl” statue has agreed to pay $5 million to more than 300 women and 15 black employees to settle allegations that it paid them less than their white male colleagues.

State Street Corp., which set up the girl in front of the “Charging Bull” statue this year to promote gender equality, denied discriminating but said it would pay up this week after a federal audit uncovered the alleged pay disparities.
