California Fair Pay Act
The California Fair Pay act was signed into law by Governor Brown, this act proposed by Senator Hannah Jackson, proposes that equal pay should not be based on the gender of the employee, but on factors like seniority or skill level. Since 1949, when the California Equal Pay act was passed, women are still earning less than their male counterparts. On average many women are paid 78 cents per every dollar what a man earns doing similar work. Minority women have it even worse, they get paid 54% to 64% less than what a white male worker is paid. As a woman who will be entering the workforce in a few years, this bill will benefit me and my family. There are pros and cons to the California Fair Pay Act and I will detail them
