Even if the politicians we now have in office were to implement this plan but better it; it still doesn’t solve the issue of the gender pay gap. Different Approach to Day Care If we take a look at other countries, we see that there is a gender pay gap that women still have regardless of location. Some of these countries have programs that help benefit women in a way. France; Austria; and Germany are a few places that put value in care giving. European countries believe time spent out of the workforce to care for children and other family members significantly impacts women’s earnings and retirement security. Some European countries have found ways to value the “time parents spend caring for their families and recognize the role parents play in developing human capital and shaping the future workforce. For example, they give cred to women (or men) for time spent out of the workforce to care for children or other relatives (Joint Economic Committee)”. By doing this the economics committee believes the cost women spend on care giving will be reduced particularly in retirement. If the U.S. government was to implement this as a law it would be beneficially to working women and their families. The Government’s Involvement The government regulates the gender pay gap with the following laws: The Equal Pay Act of 1963;…

More recently, leadership, as evaluated by the workforce, has been an issue of concern throughout the federal workforce, but particularly in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2012a). In evaluating the 2012 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), the Partnership for Public Services noted that although for several years federal employees had not provided high remarks for their leaders, scores on leadership dropped remarkably for the first time…

easiest way of spending less money for the same effect. According to American Society of Civil Engineers“the nation's overall infrastructure a grade of D+”(https://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/). This shows that not only the F-35 is too expensive, but we have readily available money invested in this project that we can put to good use. Although many conflicts may arise if this plane is decommissioned, it should be for the good of the nation. A substantial of the military community objects…

This organization believes that the penny should be kept because of its “high public acceptance and historical significance.” One piece of evidence they use to back up their claim states that “74 percent of Americans support keeping the penny in circulation.” This statement suggests that the majority of Americans are in favor of keeping the penny as the smallest form of currency but it fails to demonstrate any real change as far as circulation goes. I agree that what the penny represents is of…

That means someone can be convicted of a crime or lose a child custody case due to online information that they thought was…

Their result shows that the reading speed and comprehension between digital and physical text are the same. Reading e-books will not disturb…

warrants. They are sometimes seen as your chief and commander in the courtroom. They have the decision to sentence you which could end your ability to live the American dream. How we select these individuals to become a judge, comes with a huge debate. I believe that when selecting a judge we should analyze how each individual achieves the best balance of accountability and judicial independence. When talking about the issue of whether we should elect or appoint a judge, I believe that we…

Today was a slow day, but very education. I am finding that out that my time at CTLC is better spent watching than actually doing things. When I walked into the double door facility I seen the usual faces, and I greeted them as I made my way back to my little small cubical office. When I arrived at my office about two minutes after greeting several people, I noticed a small green sticky note that was on my desk from the day prior. The note was to remind me about the Homeless Alliance meeting at…
