Earned. Notice its not much higher than 1955. Men worked in 1200 classes and women were concentrated under 500 classes. The conclusion of that report said mens jobs pay more with comparable education and experience. The context at the time there was a Supreme Court case and they ruled title seven covers wage discrimination whether or not the jobs are exactly the same or not, so it was considered a landmark decision. However, in the application of this court case since 1981 there has been a narrowing of the application. A lot of cases have used the bennett amendment to justify pay differentials based on gender, and actually in fact there have been few successful cases of comparable worth violations.

In 1955 the u. S. Census bureau reported that women earned 64 of what men earned. In 1963 there was a federal equal pay act that was introduced that mandated equal pay with the following important exceptions. Under the bennett amendment allowed differentiation of payment based on one seniority, two, merit, three, productivity, or four, any other factor, so you can imagine employers went to look for justifications for pay inequities in terms of these things. 1964 title seven of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination of covered employers based on race, sex, National Origin and 15 or more employees for
