However, this does not mean that inequalities no longer exist between the two sexes, the gender pay gap is one of the greatest gender inequalities observed today. According to an article titled “Explaining the Pay Disparity Between Women and Men in Similar Jobs,” the authors argue that “equal pay is more important than health care, family and medical leave, pensions, and social security for the most important legislative issues” (Hessaramiri, Kleiner 3). People want something to be done about this injustice and are waiting for the government to intervene. The Equal Pay Act is one such intervention put in place to make the salaries of employees in the same profession equal, regardless of their gender. However, after forty years, the Equal Pay Act has done little to end the pay gap. Hessaramiri and Kleiner inform us that “according to the Monthly Labor Review, women's weekly earnings were lower than those of men for full-time employees in all major professional categories” (4). Most of the time, these employees who suffer from the pay gap do not even realize that they are victims.
