Gender Pay Gap Women make up almost fifty percent of the workforce in the United States. However, they continue to earn less than their male counterparts. The gap persists even among women that do the same jobs as men. According to National Partnership for Women & Families, the median pay per year in the United States for a woman who has a full-time job is $45,097 while that of a man who holds a full-time job is $55,291. In general, this implies that women in the United States earn only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. This translates to an annual gender pay gap of $10,194. This pervasive and persistent pay gap is partly driven by racial and gender discrimination, job segregation, inadequate workplace policies to support family caregiving, which is still primarily performed by women, and workplace harassment. These cultural and social norms and unconscious bias continue to drive the gender pay gap, which results in notably lost wages that add up over the lifetime of women. This leads to consistent gender inequality, which impedes economic growth…

my pursuing a career in Applied Economics and Management Ever since I was growing up, I have always had a great passion for mathematics and having everything under my control. My passion was proven when my parents used to leave me and my sibling’s money for our maintenance. Despite being the second born, I was entrusted the mandate of how the money would be dispatched for various activities. Therefore, my parents trusted my management and arithmetic skills. Nevertheless, my passion for applied economics and management was majorly prompted during the market bubble of 2012. This was when the mortgage rates augmented to an alarming rate and most families in our neighborhood lost their homes because they could not make their mortgage payments. It was a very disheartening as most of my friends had to relocate. I took it upon myself to research what led to my friends losing their homes due to the bubble. I thoroughly watched financial and business documentaries, which turned out to be my free time hobby. I totally believed that one day I would make a…
