dollars to donuts

(Yeah, I can’t explain the donuts reference except that I’m hungry, and I mentioned bagels last week – figure I better give donuts their proper due.)

Anyway, I’m pretty psyched about a recent editorial by the Bangor Daily News called “Equal Pay Helps All.”

“The fact that women in the same job make only 78 percent of what their male counterparts equal is often considered a problem for women to deal with. This is shortsighted. With increasing numbers of women becoming primary breadwinners and growing numbers of single-parent households headed by women, ensuring female workers are fairly paid should matter to everyone.”

The article discusses how the Paycheck Fairness Act, a bill making its way through the United States Congress is good for all workers, businesses, and for our economy.

What do you think?
