Slightly agree

No, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary

While Truman would likely agree that factors like education, experience, and tenure should influence pay, he would likely also believe that gender should not be one of these factors. Therefore, he might somewhat agree with this statement, but not fully.

Disagree

No, the government should never determine what a private business should pay employees

Strongly disagree

No, this is irrelevant because the gender wage gap is a myth

Very strongly disagree

No, the current requirements in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 are already sufficient

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 was passed after Truman's presidency, so he could not have commented on its sufficiency. However, given his general support for labor rights and fair pay, it's likely he would support further measures to ensure equal pay.
