Facts:
1. "According to recent data compiled by Payscale, my industry has a controlled pay gap (meaning similar men and women working very similar jobs) of -7.4% for women. That number is far higher than any other industry. For comparison, the next closest industry was transportation and warehousing, with a controlled pay gap of -4.9% for women."
2. "the median pay for a male worker is $75,800, while the controlled female wage is $70,200."
3. According to the World Economic Forum, in the oil and gas industry, the participation of women in the workforce remains below 20%. But, when you look at the senior level positions? It’s a measly 10-15%. 
CAUSES: Women are faced with the judgement of not being as capable as men.
Perspective: Questions why women are being paid so much less than men.
Questions: How does this wage gap affect the lives of women?
Claim: Women who perform the same jobs as men and get paid lower should receive equal pay. ]]> 2017-02-25 05:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/david_freitag/p9r8aq6o9kg1/wish/156168808 david_freitag https://padlet.com/david_freitag/p9r8aq6o9kg1/wish/156168809 http://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/un-report-most-10-year-old-girls-have-fewed-chances-at-success-than-boys/3626908.html
