I just feel like no matter how hard I try I'll never be good enough to make it in the
corporate world. Many women in the United States are victims of the gender pay-gap.
Women earn about 77 cents for every dollar that men make. Female CEOs and directors make
42% less than their male counterparts. For every dollar men earn, women take home cents.
Gender discrimination in the workplace must be stopped. Employers must establish a policy
that ensures that men and women are compensated equally for performing the same work and should
also ensure equality in training, hiring, and promotion. You, too, can help! Be educated
on current laws that protect against gender discrimination, and speak up when you feel
that your female colleagues are not receiving equal pay for equal work.
