I heard that men's pay got cut in half when women got the right to work. does this have some truth?

Women did not get the right to work but have always had it. Rights are what we do by right. It is folly to believe that a group of people are making less because a different group of people have started to compete for the same jobs. How much a person gets paid is, as it should be, contingent upon how much that person produces. There are circumstances, companies and organizations that may pay based on a different concept but they rarely last in a market place that only cares about quality at the best possible price.


How much tax will I pay for Obamacare?

The amount of tax you pay for Obamacare depends on your income and whether you have health insurance. If you do not have health insurance, you may have to pay a penalty called the individual mandate. This penalty is calculated based on your income and can vary. If you have health insurance through the marketplace, you may be eligible for premium tax credits to help lower your costs. It is best to consult with a tax professional for personalized advice.

What is the difference between a cost of living raise and a regular pay raise?

A cost of living raise is based on the cost of living. A regular pay raise is not.Another Answer:Regular pay is how much you get paid regularly. If you get a "regular" raise, that means that you have been doing well in the firm and you earned the money. If Cost Of Living raises that means what it says, the cost of living has raised.
