For this assignment, you are to construct a brief paper/ essay of 500 – 700 words (not including the title page and references page) that addresses the following:
Women have made great progress in the workforce since the Equal Pay Act of 1963. However, there is still a wide wage gap between men and women. President Obama has vowed to reduce the wage gap between genders. In the first paragraph of your paper, describe and give a brief history of the wage gap between men and women in America. In the remainder of your paper, discuss your views on why it still exists; how it can be “closed” and whether or not you think it will be resolved while President Obama is still in office (support your answer).
