In honor of #EqualPayDay. Here are a few infuriating facts about the wage gap:
-
-
Black women make only 63 cents for every dollar a white man makes. Latinas make just 54 cents on that same dollar.
#EqualPayDay -
If current trends continue, women will not see the pay gap close for another 135 years.
-
Our country was founded on the principle of equality. Everyone should be paid equally regardless of gender.
#EqualPayDay -
they are being paid equally for same jobs!! the "wage gap" occurs due to womens choice of JOBS. not discrimination!
-
First: nope. Second: our society also decides to pay female dominated professions less. That's not a good excuse for the pay inequality.
-
I wasn't aware that Society fronts the paychecks to female dominated professions. I thought that was the employers job.
-
It's true that you are not aware.

That stat is due to choices men and women make in their careers not discrimination. Such as men being more likely to ask for a raise.

For the last 8 yrs Obama did absolutely nothing to fix this issue, correct? I hope you're not trying to blame this on our 74 days in POTUS!
