Women, on average, spend their wages more, thus they help stimulate the economy more. And since more of them are in the workforce now, this will help our economy get out of the hole! Now, all that needs to be done is that women need to get paid equally to men. For years, and even still today, women have been cheated in pay. Women earn 77 cents to every dollar that men make. Some bills have been passed (such as the Fair Pay Act) in order to try and stop this from happening, yet women still get discriminated against when it comes to payments. Hopefully, by realizing how important women are to America’s economy, employers will stop doing this and value the work women put in.

See how Lilly Ledbetter, because of how she explains her story of how she was paid disproportionately just because she was a woman, and how taking a stand led to the passing of the Ledbetter Act
