Wage Discrimination In America

It is not surprising that women in America are making less than men. For the most part, many American women are either working a well-paying job or a low pay job, either way, they still come as an underdog within the workplace that they are in. Wage discrimination is the discrimination towards minorities in the workplace that experience wage gap among their coworkers. It doesn't matter the race, gender, ethnicity,and the religion people experience outcomes of wage gap severely. That is a social issue in America that needs to be fixed and get the attention of. The gender inequality affects every race, and it's a big problem in American businesses.
Women began working during World War 1 where there weren't enough men to do the jobs because they had gone to war. Women step in as big contributors to help run the country, not the household. They had work in industries that were mostly held by men such as doing factory work, buses and tram conductors, postal workers, and doing police jobs (Striking Women). Because women weren't making the same amount of money that men were making, The National War Labor Board wanted to pass the equal pay law that women should get paid equally as their competitors not getting paid less. Therefore, in 1963 John F Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act to abolish wage gap differences among different sex,
Most of that is because jobs still are in that stereotypes state of mind: women should do housework and not do the jobs men are supposed to do, some women even get fired when they stands up for equality pay, women that are working in a low paying job are getting paid less, and some jobs are basically “sexist”, and some discrimination laws are not well built or organized to help women. Some women don't even know that they are getting paid less. There is no discrimination when an experienced person earns more than a less skilled person(Klomegah,
