Are YOU making an equal amount to your male counterpart in your place of employment? I know I am not. I have greater academic credentials and I am licensed. Sadly, I also have boobs.

“Each year, National Equal Pay Day reflects how far into the current year women must work to match what men earned in the previous year.” – US Department of Labor
