American Intercontinental University Unfair Wages and Unequal Pay Discussion
I’m working on a mathematics discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
In this discussion, you will use linear functions to make sense of unfair and unequal pay. Historically, women and other marginalized groups have been compensated less than their counterparts for the same work and, at times, for more work. For example, in Georgia, Black women earn an average of 63 cents for every dollar earned by their white male counterparts1. In addition to this gap, some Georgia hourly workers are legally compensated at di?erent minimum wage rates ($5.15 vs. $7.25) based on the Fair Labor Standards Act2.
Write about the history of unfair wages and unequal pay in Georgia or a state that you are from. 100 words or less, be sure to cite you work. Use the suggested questions as a guide to discuss unfair wages and unequal pay in the state you selected.
