Wage Gap Affecting American Working Women
A national event on September 13, 2016, explains how there is a wage gap based on gender. Women are facing lower paid wages compared to men. Some graduated women are earning higher wages then men. I will explain how this fact are affecting American working women.
On September, 2016 an online newspaper agency “Usnews.com” referenced a research published by the American progress association. Lawren Camera (2016) noted that, “working women’s earnings 10 years after they first enrolled in college are lower than working men’s earnings only six years after enrolling”. Women graduates are getting paid less than men for the same amount of work or more. For a woman to earn what a man is making, after his 6 year of first enrolled in college, it will
take her 10 years to achieve. If a men and women were working in the same year, after their first year enrolled in college, the earning gap can be of almost $50,000, this is a high number for the working women in America.
Although, the research also states that some women’s earning can be higher than men. The small percentage of women that do earn more than men, can only enjoy of an earning gap of no more than, $10,000 after both being enrolled in their first year of college. These earning gap is relative small if compared vice versa.
In today’s day women in America are being paid unfairly for their work compared than men. In the last 10 years there has been more than enough data collected, to support this statement. Let’s hope that this research can accomplish at least, the attention that this topic deserves.
