Wage Gaps: Genders Unequal Pay

Gender Inequality
Imagine you are a women working the same hours as a male coworker, you put the same effort into your quality work, but when you gets your paycheck you still earn less than him. We could change this problem and make sure that all genders get equal pay for the amount of work they do. There is a wage gap between genders even though they work the same job and hours the women will get payed less. The gaps are impacted the most by ethnicity, sexuality, and of course gender. Genders equal pay should be fixed because even though the gender each work the same hours,jobs, and education level the male will still receive more pay.
