Conducted in Spring 2020 in Birmingham, Alabama
6. NOUN difference in size, degree,
circumstances, etc.; lack of equality. RACE|GENDER|AGE
7. In my experience the differences in
wages are directly relatedto
knowledge in the field and
commitment to progress.
I find it very hard to believe
that there's a significant
difference in males vs females
compensation.
I don't think gender is the
actual issue in 2020
Opportunityis where you look.
People need to look harder for it.
Pay is not based on any of these
Knowing salaries of people who
have worked for me, I can say
that neither race nor gender
play a role at all.
Actual responsesfrom respondentswho disagree with inequality and shared their feedback.
8. I see more inequalityin opportunitiesbased
on gender more than any other bias.
In my previousemployer, all of these were an issue.
This is one of the great
issues within the US
Males make more than females
in my profession at my work.
I no al a abo pa Discrimination
also happened with mobility.
Actual responsesfrom respondentswho agree with inequality and shared their feedback.
