Gender Discrimination

Gender discrimination can be found in the workforce and it is based on someone’s gender. For example a man and a woman both posses the same qualities such as a degree they go and apply for the same job. However, the man will most likely get the job because of male privilege.  It is hard for women to get promotions due to preconceived notions such as they cannot handle workload and they are not fit for the job. This is considered gender discrimination because men who have less experience in a job would most likely get a job promotion. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics cites women working 41 to 44 hours per week earn 84.6% of what men working similar hours earn.
