Although women now make up almost half of all workers in the US, nearly 80 percent of them are employed in low-paying clerical, sales, service, or factory jobs. Approximately a third of all women workers have clerical jobs, which pay on average $12,000 or less. Partly as a result, women make only seventy-five cents for every dollar earned by men. Moreover, men routinely make more money even when education, experience, and responsibilities are equal. The gap in male-female earning has great significance because more than 16 percent of U.S. households are headed by women. Low-paying jobs keep many of these households in poverty. Women's groups such as National Organization for Women have demanded that equal opportunities and equal pay be given to women. According to women's activist Maggie McAnany, "It is imperative that the government help to change the situation of employment for women. We cannot wait for the companies to reform themselves. Change must come through the law."
Dịch:
Mặc dù phụ nữ hiện chiếm gần một nửa tổng số lao động ở Mỹ, nhưng gần 80% trong số họ làm các công việc văn thư, bán hàng, dịch vụ hoặc nhà máy được trả lương thấp. Khoảng một phần ba số lao động nữ làm công việc văn thư với mức lương trung bình từ 12.000 USD trở xuống. Một phần là do phụ nữ chỉ kiếm được 75 xu cho mỗi đô la mà nam giới kiếm được. Hơn nữa, đàn ông thường xuyên kiếm được nhiều tiền hơn ngay cả khi trình độ học vấn, kinh nghiệm và trách nhiệm ngang nhau. Khoảng cách về thu nhập giữa nam và nữ có ý nghĩa rất lớn vì hơn 16% hộ gia đình ở Mỹ do phụ nữ làm chủ. Việc làm lương thấp khiến nhiều hộ gia đình này rơi vào cảnh nghèo đói. Các nhóm phụ nữ như Tổ chức Phụ nữ Quốc gia đã yêu cầu trao cơ hội bình đẳng và trả lương ngang nhau cho phụ nữ. Theo nhà hoạt động vì phụ nữ Maggie McAnany, "Chính phủ bắt buộc phải giúp thay đổi tình hình việc làm cho phụ nữ. Chúng tôi không thể chờ đợi các công ty tự cải tổ. Sự thay đổi phải thông qua luật pháp."
