QUESTION $4$

In the U$.$S$.$ there has always been a pay gap between equally qualified employees who had different genders, ethnicities, religions, cultures, etc. Which statement most accurately describes this inequality today?

It does not exist in the U$.$S$.$ anymore because everyone of the $1960\text{'}$s Civil Rights Acts being passed.

Although the pay discrepancy used to be quite large, it is non$-$existent since $2016$ legislation was passed, and all lower$-$paid workers immediately got raises.

So much has been done to correct this problem that white males actually earn $20\%$ less in the U$.$S$.$ than every other category of job candidate of equal qualifications.

Despite federal, state, and local legislation and other company$-$based actions, white males still make more than other equally qualified job candidates and employees according to U$.$S$.$ data.

The discrepancy in pay is not really considered important anymore, as people place less value on money and more on satisfaction with work. Most women just work to get out of the house and away from the kids anyway.
