Despite Equal Pay Act, Native American Women Make Ridiculously Low Wages

Description

According to the Huffington Post, September 28th is America's Native Women Equal Pay Day. To catch up to the average white man's wages, a Native American woman needs to work nine extra months! It's been illegal since 1963 for employers to pay any employee less based only on their gender. More than 50 years have passed, but wage disparities between men and women in the U.S. persist. Experts say America’s gender wage gap won’t close until 2059 if its trajectory remains on the current course. Today, American women on average are paid 80 cents for every dollar men earn. Black women are paid just 63 cents to the white man’s dollar. Native women make a paltry 57 cents.

Trump: $600 Stimulus Checks Are "Ridiculously Low"

Trump threatened late Tuesday to veto the $892 billion coronavirus relief bill approved by Congress. This may delay aid for millions on the cusp of eviction and about to lose unemployment benefits. Trump said the bill did not provide enough support for small businesses. He also asked Congress to increase stimulus checks to individuals to $2,000. He called the current offer of $600 for most Americans “ridiculously low”. Nancy Pelosi agrees with Trump and many Democrats are on board to increase the stimulus checks.

Joe Biden Wants To Make Gig-workers Full-time Employees

CHANDAN KHANNA/AFP via Getty Images Joe Biden's presidency is likely good news for Uber and Lyft. The companies won big in California with Prop. 22, a law the President-elect was vocally opposed to. With the new gig-work model in place, companies are likely to try and replicate it in other states. Federal efforts to classify drivers or couriers as employees are likely to fall flat thanks to a divided congress, experts say. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
