Hey there! The first page looks like it's about women in the workforce!

The Effect

The problem with the people of earth wanting to have extreme wealth, has created issues everywhere. Making men feel that they have extra power over the workplace..

Around the world, including the US. Women continue to be entitled to low-paying jobs. Women of color and transgender people experience high poverty levels, unemployment, and other economic deprivation. Gender discrimination and sexual harassment largely contribute to the economic divides in the workplace. “Women jobs,”- mostly known as childcare and restaurant service, continue to occupy the lower rungs of the U.S wage ladder. Women make up 63% of workers who earn the minimum wage. a wage rate of 7.25 since 2009! If contrast, women represent only 5% of CEOs at Fortune 500 firms. CEOs took home 13.1 million dollars on average in 2016. Men make up a large part of top earners across the U.S. economy, even though women now represent almost half the country’s workforce. Women create only 27 percent of the top 10 percent, and their share of higher income groups runs even lower. Among the top 1 percent of women make up only slightly less than 17 percent of workers, while at the top 0.1 percent level, they make up only 11 percent.

The Problem

According to the National Women's, households led by unmarried women with children had a tremendous poverty rate of 35.6 percent, more than twice the 17.3 percent rate for families led by a widower (single man with children). Poverty is a huge problem for women of color, affecting 21.4% of Black women, 18.7% of Latina women, and 22.8% of Native American women, compared to the national poverty rate for white men of 7.0 percent.

Solutions

The gender pay gap has not changed much in the last 20 years. It has decreased greatly when looking at the longer term, among all workers 16+. and among people ages 25-34. The most likely 18-cent gender pay gap among all workers in 2022 was way lower than 35 cents in 1982. And the 8-cent gap among workers aged 25-34 in 2022 went far down from the 26-cent gap ten years ago.

The Effect

Solutions

Many gender pay gaps have been described by factors such as educational effort, job isolation, and sometimes work experience. The narrowing of the hole over the long term is mainly caused by women's gains in each of these parts.

Another part of wealth is retirement savings. This shows a large gap between men and women. According to the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, American women in 2017 held $42,000 in retirement savings, compared to $123,000 in retirement savings for men.

Around the world, including the US. Women continue to be underlooked in low-paying jobs. Women of color and transgender people experience high poverty levels, unemployment, and other economic disadvantage. Gender unfairness and sexual harassment significantly contribute to the economic split in the workplace.

Twenty-one percent of women and 12 percent of men have at most $10,000 in their retirement accounts—both pension plan and Social Security payouts put in part past earnings. Of course, the gender pay gap means women have fewer post-retirement resources than men.

Women are an essential percentage of low-wage workers and a small percentage of high-wage workers, such as CEOs. This means women typically earn less than men. In addition, most women do unpaid work such as child care or housework.

American women earn dramatically less than men, on average, in all jobs. The largest pay gaps are in management positions, where men made $88,000$ on Average in 2016, and women only made $55,000. The lowest pay gaps are in the construction zone, but women make up only 9% of workers in the construction industry.

The wage gap is smaller for workers ages 25-34 than for all workers 16+. In 2022 women ages 25-34 years old earned an average of only 92 cents for every dollar earned by men in the same age group, an 8 cents gap! To compare the two, the gender pay gap among workers of any age was 18 cents. Even though women have been taking on the part of higher-paying jobs mostly taken over by men, such as manager and professional positions, women, in general, continue to be overrepresented in lower-paying jobs relative to their share of the workforce. This may show the gender differences in pay.

Solutions

The Problem

Another part of women are less likely than men to say they are currently the boss or a top manager. Women also could say they don't want this position in the long run. Above four in ten employed females, which is 46%, say this. Compared to 37% of men. 35% of similar shares of men and 31% of women say they are not currently a boss but would like to be one day. This shows that one solution would be to try and uplift women to have high positions in management and make both gender recognizable in these positions in the workplace.

Men and women have some worthy differences in views of what's behind the wage gap. Women are 61% more likely to say a huge reason for the gap is that employers constantly treat women differently compared to 37% of men, While 45% of women say a significant factor is that women are making different choices about how to balance work-life and family life, men are slightly less likely to hold that point of view (40% agree).

This is some cool stuff! Let's keep reading!
