Gender Pay Gap
*Women have always been payed less than men, its a 20% diffrence, for every dollar a man makes a women makes 80 cents, even though women make up half the workforce
*Women were expected to stay at home at work, gradually the pay gap has decreased, In 1963 women earned 60% of what men did, Over the course of 30 years it was cut in half into 80%
*Acts have been pass to minimize the gap, The gap won't close until 2050, 1963 the Equal pay act was passed, the senate is still being worked on to get acts passed.
*Not all jobes has a wage gap, Teachers are paid equally and tennis players. 23% of the senate are women and in the House of Represnetatives are 19% women.
*As you get older the gap get bigger, some solutions to it would be to support pay transparency, and make it more difficult for companies to pay male workers more than female worker
*Th equal pay act passed in 1963 to make women and men have the same pay, which didn't raise it to exactly the same as men but now it is a lot closer than it was back them
