Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into effect‚ making it illegal for employers to discriminate on the basis of sex.

Now that it is 2016 many things have changed in America. One thing that hasn’t changed is the pay gap. Yes‚ women now make more than they used to‚ but still today women only make 79 cents to every dollar a man makes.
