Equality in Pay

Key Points:
In this unstable and unreliable
economy, women deserve the same
safety and security of earning the
same amount as the males in her
workplace.
Equal pay will result in less job
openings for females due to the cost
of employment, resulting in a higher
unemployment rate.

All in Favor

The U.S. Census Bureau gathered that all women earned on average only
$0.78 per dollar that men earned. (Different ethnicities also earn less pay
compared to others)
Some believe that there should be equal pay between the genders in this
unstable economic time.
The Paycheck Fairness Act has been pushed by many corporations
who want to combat wage discrimination and believe that all ethnicities
and all genders should have the same pay.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Restoration Act (EEORA) is
another important bill that addresses employment discrimination by
removing the barriers that the Supreme Court erected
The need to strengthen and update the Equal Pay Act of 1963 will assist in
minimizing the wage gap between genders and ethnicities.

All Opposed

The Paycheck Fairness Act will in fact expand the wage gap, make it
easier to file class-action lawsuits, and open businesses up to greater
litigation and uncertaintyall of which would be devastating to job
creation.
Women will become too costly to employ, resulting in higher
unemployment.
When controlling for variables like education, college major, or time
spent out of the workforce this gap largely disappears.
But in the aggregate, women are outperforming men in terms of
college-graduation rates, advanced degrees, purchasing power, and
increasingly in earnings.
The fact is discrimination is no longer a significant reason why women
earn, on average, less than men.
Only 18% of women state that they have experienced discrimination in
the workplace, which is a reasonably low number compared to men.
In Income, young single men have earned less than young single
women in 147 of 150 of the largest U.S cities.
Long-term unemployment is 55% for men, and 45% for women
