Should employers be required to pay men and women the same salary for the same job?
No, the current requirements in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 are already sufficient

Even today, women aren't given the same pay rate as men. No matter what gender you are, everyone should have equal pay and gender bias should not be considered when it is related to a person's money making.

I agree. Just because a female is working at like, construction or something, doesn't mean that they aren't doing the same thing as the man. They are, and sometimes they do it better for worse pay.

Well, my sister actually works in construction. She's been in the industry longer than some of her male colleagues and yet she gets paid less. From her experience, it's not just about the work done but also about how society values certain jobs more when they are performed by men. It's a complex issue that needs addressing. However, some argue that there should be more consideration given to skills, experience, and qualifications when setting pay, rather than strictly gender. What do you think about this perspective? Could there be a middle ground to ensure fairness in pay across genders while still acknowledging individual merits?
