In 2014 the U.S. Senate blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act which would make it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who perform the same work. The goals of the act were to make wages more transparent, require employers to prove that wage discrepancies are tied to legitimate business qualifications and not gender and prohibiting companies from taking retaliatory action against employees who raise concerns about gender-based wage discrimination.

@4LL94P24yrs4Y
The womans place is in the home is what the Bible says so they need not to be in the workforce
@8GN4YCZ4yrs4Y
Yes, and businesses should be required to publish their salary ranges for each position. Although, many statistics are based off of the 1970s-80s
@4LMWJT24yrs4Y
