I was asked for advice the other day from a woman who believed she was discriminated against (not in MInnesota). She had since left that job as a result. After sending an e-mail response I couldn't help but realize, despite all our laws, we still have so far to go to achieve an equitable place in the labor market. The answer to the question "Am I being paid the same as my male counter part?" continues to be unanswerable due to the secrecy surrounding our paychecks and the threat of employer retaliation should women call attention to pay discrepancies. However, not being one to bask in negativity, there are positive steps one can take to help even the playing field. This blog is a start.
