We work hard for Our Money

There is an element of social imbalance, easily seen when analyzing the wage gap between men and women.
Recently, I read an old report the White House issued on Women in America: Indicators of Social and Economic Well-being.  The report was conducted and presented by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economics and Statistics Administration, and the Executive Office of the President Office of Management and Budget for the White House Council on Women and Girls in March 2011.  In essence, the report studied the current role women serve within the family unit, academia, workforce, and health activity, in the American social structure.  Although it is evident that women account tends to be more likely to achieve higher education degrees, and account for greater workforce retention men, these specific gains do not result in equal pay. Just reading the report traumatizes me.
Even with a college degree, women still receive 75 cents for every dollar that a man earns as of 2009, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Women now account for 61% of the workforce, but most are not in high paying jobs. Rather, women tend to fill supportive service jobs such as administrative or customer service jobs. In contrast, their male counterparts are settled in the higher paying technological careers of computer science, biotech, and engineering.
In addition to the wage gap inequalities faced by all women, Black’s women face even greater inequalities – a deep and widespread problem, which resists social change in America today.
This gap is due in part to the difficulty Black’s women have in gaining entry to the fields of research, science, math and technology, which lead to jobs in industries with the highest paid career trajectories. This suggests HEALING!
