On Equal Pay Day, NOW Calls For Closing of Gender Wage Gap
http://now.org/press/04-12/04-17.html
It is ridiculous that men are often paid more than women. Don't they both deserve the same pay? Women sometimes even have more stressful jobs or jobs that are much more time consuming and still don't make as much as men do. If educated the same why not paid the same? The passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act will allow women to be more economically backed when in times of depression and to earn what they deserve. The fact that their is a 13 cent gap in pay between men and women is wrong, and overtime changes into a significant amount of money. It is only constitutional that we encourage an equal workplace, for women and women of color. It is appalling that for a women to receive the same amount of money as her husband she must acquire a much higher degree and even then if not promised to be paid equally. Shouldn't she be making more?
