Regulations would make a difference in the wage gap, as it would put up parameters for companies to abide by, because as it is right now with the lack of guidelines, the wage gap continues to increase. This being said, the government should be involved in this process to an extent with the Department of Labor (DOL) addressing these pay gaps. The DOL's main objective is to oversee the rights of workers and to ensure they are protected (Kappel, 2021). The impending increasing wage gab is presenting a threat to the financial stability of the workers within American, which in turn, will affect the economy even more.
