Discussed by Patrice Onwuka
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)

Patrice Onwuka is the Director of the Center for Economic Opportunity at the Independent Women’s Forum. Patrice is a frequent guest on many national news outlets and hosts a column called the New Agenda for Black Women on Newsmax.com.

Click here to read more from Patrick Onwuka on this and other important economic issues.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

True or Fales: Women earn about 18 cents less per dollar than their male counterparts. ANSWER: True – BUT there is an asterisk. Patrice goes on to explain the “asterisk” saying: “There are so many factors that the basic raw data point does not include and those factors are what explain most of that wage gap.”

Why do large pay gaps exist for black, Hispanic, and Native American women as compared to white men?

Should all workers, especially women, understand that their individual choices have a bearing on their earnings in the short-term and long-term? Patrice says: “The school counselors and college counselors are not telling [people] this!” She goes to share what females should be taught from a young age about career flexibility and benefits when they choose a career.

In the current tight labor market, where more job openings are chasing too few job-seekers, what can both sides of the equation do to fill employment needs?

Title: Men vs Women: The Wage War
Topic: Wage Gap: Fact or Fiction

Discussed by Phyllis Schlafly
with Eagle Forum (www.eagleforum.org)

Part 1 of 3

For decades, feminists have been screaming at the top of their voice for equal pay in the workplace. No, I am NOT saying women shouldn’t be paid well for a job well done. I am NOT saying they don’t deserve to be paid the same amount as their male counterparts.

Phyllis Schlafly, with Eagle Forum and a reputable voice around the nation, says woman ARE being paid equally, but Obama and the feminists twist those facts around. Consider that many women do not work 40 hours per week due to demands in the home; most men, however, work above and beyond 40 hours per week.

Also, men are more willing to accept a dangerous job working in less-than-desirable conditions. These jobs pay more, which raises the average pay for ALL men, making it appear that men are paid more for ALL jobs than women are.  See a trend here?

Listen in as Phyllis Schlafly explains more.

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Men vs Women: The Wage War
Topic: Wage Gap: Fact or Fiction

Discussed by Phyllis Schlafly
with Eagle Forum (www.eagleforum.org)

U.S. law today calls for equal pay for equal work.

There is also the reality that women want to date, and eventually, marry a man who makes more money than they do. Women may not admit this outright, but it is still true, nonetheless.

Phyllis Schlafly says the best way to improve economic prospects for women is to improve the job prospects for the men in their lives.

What does this mean and why does she feel this way?

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Men vs Women: The Wage War
Topic: Wage Gap: Fact or Fiction

Discussed by Phyllis Schlafly
with Eagle Forum (www.eagleforum.org)

The real economic story of the past 30 years is that women’s pay has effectively risen to virtual parity, but men’s pay has stagnated. Thousands of well-paid, blue-collar hob have been shipped to low-wage countries. Simply put, men can't find good-paying, blue-collar jobs here in America anymore.

This is leading toward the trend of the falling marriage rate. The age for first time marriages has risen, as well. Marriage is becoming unstable and a thing of the past. Divorce is common place, even among believers. More single moms are living in poverty than ever before.

Is this the fault of the Obama administration? Are Republicans to blame? Are Christians guilty for not taking a firmer stand against the left-leaning media? Should we help the poor more – or less?

Title: Wage Gap: Fact or Fiction?
Topic: Wage Gap: Fact or Fiction

Discussed by Sabrina Schaeffer
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)

Choices: to exercise or not; to have a k-cup at home at 50-cents per cup or a Starbucks at $4.00 a cup? What about majoring in English-Lit or Anthropology or studying for an MBA or an Engineering Degree or how about a JD – a law degree? We all make choices every day, some easy without a lot of consequences, while others have tremendous tradeoffs. Sabrinal Schaeffer, senior fellow with the Independent Women’s forum joins us discussing the “Wage Gap: Fact of Fiction”. More information can be found at www.IWF.org.
