Gender Discrimination in the Workplace

In many places women are still discriminated at the workplace. On the website http://smallbusiness.chron.com/effects-gender-discrimination-workplace-2860.html it says according to TNS Research Surveys, 68 percent of women surveyed believe gender discrimination exists in the workplace. Although they may just be beliefs, a gender gap is still obviously seen in some work setting. An exxageration on this can be seen at http://psychcentral.com/news/2009/10/09/gender-discrimination-in-the-workplace/8868.html. A big topic that highlights gender discrimination is the fact that men get paid more than women, even if they work the same job and have the same background experience. The website http://www.iwpr.org/initiatives/pay-equity-and-discrimination explains the difference in pay between men and women. Is it truly fair that in 2012 gender is an issue in the workforce?

Holiday Employment

Around this time of year many places of work are looking for seasonal worker. According to http://www.temporaryjobs.org/Holiday-Jobs.html some businesses hire between 30,000 to 60,000 people during the holiday season. Many retail stores like http://wetseal.com/home.jsp or http://www.charlotterusse.com/ hire seasonal workers because of the holiday sales that come around. Seasonal jobs are a great way to network, learn new skills, and earn extra money on your free time. They are nothing to overlook.
