This article talks about how there is still a gap in equal pay between men and women. The article says that women are paid 77 cents to every dollar men are paid and that men make around eleven thousand more per year. The article explores what women could do with that gap of eleven thousand dollars.

This website goes over the gender pay gap between men and women in the workforce. Providing us with statistics and facts as to the importance of equal pay for both men and women. The data given is from 2016.

I love how this website uses graphics to explain the ideas. I also think it has shocking statistics and information.

This article was extremely intriguing. It gives wonderful statistics between the gender equality differences of men and women. The hardest one I found to believe was the difference between pay of men and women in the medical profession of surgeons and physicians.

It really makes me angry that anyone could think that this is okay. Someone's pay should be dictated by the work they put in instead of their gender or race.

The fact that this sort of inequality still exists just based on sex is crazy! And like your article states, gender is not the only affected area, but black, indigenous and people of color as well. Pay should vary on knowledge and performance, not ones ethnicity.

This article provides the statistics of women and men's pay and how they differ. Women are paid .79 cents to every man's dollar in America.

This is a very reliable source for researching the gender pay gap. It's great that it is up to date. That .21 cents matters.

This is very wrong for companies to do. Character is what determines work ethic not who you are physically. its all about the motivation of an individual.

Women deserve equal pay. On average, they are paid less than their male counterparts. It effects their spending power and what women receive in their social security.

The 77 cent claim has been repeatedly refuted because it does not accommodate for the fact that women are more likely to choose lower paying jobs or jobs with benefits. Men on average work longer hours. Single, childless women in major cities earn more than men. Women obtain 58% of college degrees. Women are less likely to go into STEM jobs. Also statistics are easily manipulated. Watch TJ explain the wage gap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWAlg48fNwE

I definitely agree with this article. Even if some people like to think this isn't a problem it definitely is. For men and women in the same field regardless of what that field is men often get the higher income than women do. My mother is a major example of this and often talks about how the men in the same department as her make more money even when they produce less work that generally isn't that good. On top of that my mother works the same amount of hours and even more than average in a given week yet still doesn't come close to the pay gap. Of course, there may be inconsistency in statistics but it is definitely still an issue to be aware of because it still exists.

The gender pay gap is still an on going issuse in the U.S. Women make 20% than men do in the workforce. The pay gap is worse in minoiry women and education makes no difference.

The gender pay gap is one issue that causes a lot of debate. People wonder whether the issue is true or just a myth. Economist have data and how it shows women clearly make less than men in the workforce.

This article talks about women's rights across the world. The article lists countries who rank the highest and countries who rank the lowest. The United States surprisingly falls lower than expected. No country is ranked a perfect 100% but there are countries who come close, USA not being one of them.

Such a shame from a country that widely considers itself advocates for equal rights. There are many of us that recognize this same concept, that being gender inequalities and pay gaps still exist, and advocate for that to be abolished. With the recent advances in how sensitive our society is regarding social issues, how long is this really going to take? One would think that we, as a culture of the U.S., would have already arrived to a point of true gender equality.

This is a very interesting article. I knew there is a significant pay gap within the U.S. and was honestly surprised to see it so high up. As someone else said, it certainly is a shame that we are so low yet consider the US to be one of the most progressive countries with social issues.

This article points out the discrimination women face with the pay gap in the U.S. It talks about how even though women make up half of the work force they still earn less than the common man, the author then goes into the reasons this occurs and the efforts that need to be taken to close this wage gap.

This article is also about the equal pay gap between men and women. The article takes on different perspectives to see how men might actually benefit if there was equal pay between men and women.

The article discusses the gap in pay many people face in the U.S and the inequality they experience from their day to day job. It stresses that everyone doesn't start off on the same playing field and that some things are refused to woman, people of color and so on.

This article explores the equal pay gap, but has an eye catching twist. The article focuses around how senator Kelly Ayotte, a woman, voted against equal pay.

this website discusses the pay gap between men and women.it also describes the measures of low income and how it effects individuals. its definitely a good site for detailed information on the subject.

The wage gap this day in age is appalling! I liked how this article discusses exactly how this affects women in there day to day life.

The grassroots activists from the Self Employed Women's Association spoke to a panel on the informal economy at the ITUC Congress in Berlin. Founded in India out of exploitation of women works from the informal sector, the two million member coalition spoke of their hardships and interaction with their formal sector employers. Through power in numbers SEWA has gained momentum in their fight for workers' rights and pay equality. 40% of the global economy consists of the expanding members of the informal sector.

This website describes the gaps of income between the different communities. The difference is significant and will continue to grow.

In today's world there should be no reason for inequality in income. As long as the same effort and quality of work is produced, pay should be the same for all.

Since 1972 the ACLU has been working to secure gender equality and ensure that all women and girls are able to lead lives of dignity, free from violence and discrimination, including discrimination based on gender stereotypes.

The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.

It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.

This article sums up that 60% of school lunches are already subsidized for students across all of America, and the remaining 40% still suffer on missed lunches. The amount of money spent trying to administer the costs of managing the school lunches could almost close the gap on the last 40% having to pay out of pocket, and potentially missing multiple lunches.

I believe no child should ever go hungry. I think that every grocery store should offer ripe produce for people and children as they shop, health and wellness should be priority one.

Nice website! I like how it has all the information you might need for citing.
