In Class AssignmentReport says young women make almost as much money as young men By Los Angeles Times, adapted by Newsela staff Sheryl Sandberg (center), author of "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead," leads a group on women in the workplace and how they are looked at by male co-workers, such as being called "too aggressive," in Minneapolis, Minn., on Oct. 2, 2013. Photo: Jeff Wheeler/Minneapolis Star Tribune/MCT Although women now outnumber men in U.S. colleges, economists cite a number of reasons why pay differences persist. Among them is time, with women on average working fewer hours than men, often to care for children or other family members. (WSJ Article) Blog Post Assignment:

Men are now as likely as to ask their bosses for a raise or a better job. The women are working the same amount of the men are working, but the guys are getting payed more than the women. It is true because when the women get like 87$ and men get like 500$. So, I think that women are fighting to change the law about the price mix up. I don't think this is right, because if I was a women I would change the law.

I think that there is a difference because maybe women don't work as well as men do for example my dad gets 70000 dolars a year but my mom only gets 12000 a year big difference plus my dad gets 10000 extra a year because he was in the army oi sort of think this is right maybe women don't work as hard as men do and they get payed less I would change that if the women work hard then in crase their payrate.

The theme is that for years , women have been paid less than men . The authors message is that he wants to convince us with all about the article . I think that women gets payed less than men because they work more . I think that this is right because I found my evidence from the article . I would change the law .

The theme of the article is that women should get paid the exact same as men does. The author's message is that women don't get the same amount of money as the men. I think women gets paid less then men because their are more men bosses. I think this is not right because it is not FAIR! I would change that they get paid the same.

The theme is that women are less paid than men even though they are in the same job. Also the authors message is that both women and men are paid unfairly. I think that their paid differently because maybe their not making enough money or the boss is just being rude to us women. Also I know that this is very, very, very wrong! Women are very busy with children chores and much more to be paid so little! I'll change the way people are paid. I would do the opposite, women would be paid more and men would be paid less! HAHAHAHA!!!!

i think there is a difference because women have children and man are more manly. i think that IT I SNOT FARE because women have to take care of babys also that they can not pay babysitters everyday for them to go to work. also in my opinon is that women can do anything that men can do. i would change that women and men should get the same amount of money. not fare at all if women have children and have to got to work they should go to work at a partial time.

The theme is that women get less money then men did. Also women should work but then you have to pay a babysitter. I think the men get more money because they usually have harder jobs. I think this is wrong everyone should get paid equally. I would change that everyone gets paid equally. Also women should be more careful and wait if they get a baby. Women should think more carefully when they work. When kids grow up the moms pay for latchkey and its 50 dollars

The theme is about the story is that women don't get maid the same as men.The authors message is that to show that women don't get get paid for work a lot.Men probably are smarter and get better jobs so get better paided.No because women are also smart and should get paid the same amount of money then men.I would make the money that all peope should get the same amount that men have,so the people would get paid the same.

The theme is that woman get a little bit of money and mans get more money than woman. The author message is that they get the same job but, woman get paid less money than man. The difference is in woman they give 93 dollars every day because man get 100 dollars. This is not right because woman are not getting money fairly. I would change that they should both get the same amount of money.

I think that men get paid more than women because women usually take care of the kids in their houses while the dad works out . I think this is wrong because some of the women are not married and don't work in the house but they have to work out like the other men . Also the women that have kids may want to work too so they can have more $***** in their house. I would change that women can be = to men and earn the same amount of money as men do. also so women can be managers as well. The theme is that women should be treated as well as men are treated in work . the authors message is that women are treated lessley in work and money and aren't equal as men . Also the authors main idea is that women should be treated = as men and that women has complained so some of the womens job are increasing. ^-^

There is a difference because mothers are always taking care of their children and never have time to work because of that they do not have enough money to hire a babysitter to take care of their kid while at work. Women are getting $93 while men are getting $100. Women are getting treated badly at work and men are treated fairly. THIS IS NOT FAIR because women and men can do the same jobs and get the same amount of money. In my opinion women can do the same jobs as men because women do wrestling and men do too. Women can be bosses and men can be them too. Even though we are women doesn't mean that we don't get the same amount of money. Men think we are weak and cant do anything but we women can do the same thing as men and get the same amount of money. I would change the amount of money women are getting because men are getting $7 than women and it has to be equal. Also the theme is that even though we are women we can get the same amount of money that men do....... ^_^ we women are worth it too!
