Income Desparity in the workplace


Pay Gap?
Why is it that men ar paid more than women?



In the workplace, you have a men and women that have same position, but why is it that women are paid less?

As, women, we continue to struggle everyday at everything we do. Yes, I mean we! Especially tying to earn the same right in different areas such as work, voting, and education. There are studies and research that show the pay difference for men and women has decreased, but still exist in the workplace. Trying to research salaries can be hard, because it kept Top Secret. This is hard to find out but can only determined by interviews , but this at times can not be a reliable source.

Currently, Gender Pay Gap is an issue that is being discussed in the White House. Women issues have received alot of attention. If the gap were to close, women would get paid the difference and would help with stimulus growth in the world. However, there are sometimes limitations to pay, due to the background of education, skills, and knowledge.




However, after doing reasearch, there are more deparity in the fields in which women make up the largest workforce.
