Question

What is the most important current event issue related to gender in the United States?

Answer 1

The most important current event issue related to gender pertains to the discrepancy in pay. In 2017, women earned 82% of what men earned, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of median hourly earnings of both full- and part-time workers in the United States. Even though women have increased their presence in higher-paying jobs traditionally dominated by men, such as professional and managerial positions, women as a whole continue to be overrepresented in lower-paying occupations.
