Equal Pay For Women?

                         
No doubt women have been discriminated against in the past. The question is whether they still are, when anti-discrimination laws have been around for decades and penalties are severe.

Women still tend to earn less. But there can be valid reasons. Many women  leave jobs in mid-career for maternity reasons that distort statistical averages. Others prefer to spend more time with family,

Still, there are more variations in certain professions than others. Hostile environment may often remain. Occurrences depend on profession or industry.

Women’s needs may also differ within those jobs, especially where measures of hostility may actually exist. So you cannot evaluate discrimination charges in such instances without further investigation. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
