    This source gives information about the difference that men and women get paid in the workplace. They include a lot of different charts and graphs that make it easier to understand/faster to read.
  •  
    This article breaks down and shows the difference between pay gaps in race and gender. It also explains on why it is a thing.
  •  
    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.

    the gender pay gap in nursing. Men make more money than woman nurses

    It bottles my mind of how women are still in equal to men. We are more advanced now than the 1900's. We should be able to treat women the same across all platforms especially healthcare.
  •  
    There definitely needs to be a change in this, gender inequality shouldn't be an issue anymore. Especially when the majority of nurses are women.
  •  
    This is so interesting I had no idea about this one reading the article is mind-boggling how can they justify paying someone less solely based on their gender. Amazing read!
  •  
    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.

The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap (Spring 2016) - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Equal Pay - 5 views

  •  
    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.
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    This is a really good article because it also talks about how race affects the pay gap. Most articles I find on the topic ignore how non-white women are paid less than white women. The struggle for mothers attempting to reenter the workplace is horrible.
  •  
    A reality unfortunately, in our society. It is almost hilarious how you read on all papers when you are hired :"we are an equal opportunity employer, no discrimination of any kind..." and yet the first thing you notice is the pay you get in comparison with a man who is less qualified than you but...he is a man. And, as kat2222004 pointed, very hard for mothers to reenter the work field, the mother is not trusted anymore to be a reliable employee.
  •  
    Really good article. I saw this as I was choosing a topic to discuss in our discussion last week. I 100% agree that women should receive the same pay as men. Women are such hard workers whether it is in the work force, or for those who have to maintain a family as well.
  •  
    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 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.

Pay gap, women's rights, gender equality: US ranks 28th worldwide - 1 views

  •  
    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.

    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.

Income Inequality - Inequality.org - 0 views

  •  
    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.

    This link shows everything wrong with our world right now. I am constantly outraged by the wage gap, and how employers are allowed to get away with it. It blows my mind that so many people claim that men and women are CURRENTLY treated the same way, when clearly they are not. p.s i actually book marked this link on my computer, that way i can send it to anyone who disagrees.
  •  
    This has been an ongoing issue for us women since day one. inequality in employment, wages and opportunities is extremely unjust. I think the more its brought to the surface and the more we show we still haven't forgotten, we will eventually get somewhere. Just like when we all came together for women's rights on inauguration day :)
  •  
    Women's right are changing. Women's need equal opportunities in workplace and education. This link is showing us how unfair is society with females. Hopefully in the future everybody is going to be equal and we will have the same opportunities.
  •  
    It seems that for all of the changes that have been made, a lot still needs to be done. There is no excuse for our country or any other country to still be dealing with unequal rights for women. The violence is disgusting, as well as discrimination and unequal pay. Thank you for sharing.
  •  
    As a woman, I believe we have definitely come a long way. However, I believe we are not completely equal to males yet, which we should be. More changes need to be done.
  •  
    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.

Why school lunches should be free to all - 2 views

  •  
    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.
