in this country represent one
third of the total labor force,
earn only one-fifth of the wages.
Who's against the bill and
why?
Many businessmen are
against the bill because they
believe it will increase their pay
costs, and they insist that the
cost of hiring, training and
keeping women workers is high
er than the cost for men. No
one, however, has any hard fig
ures on how much pay costs
would be raised. Significant is
the fact that this year, most of
those opposing the bill have
concentrated on watering down
its provisions rather than con-
demning it outright. The ver-
.Sions moving through Congress
have been considerably watered
down.
Would equal pay for women
hurt the American economy?
1t could squeeze some indi-
vidual companies, but, with
women already earning more
than $45 billion a year, any in
rease in their purchasing power
would stimulate the economy

Who would be covered by the
bill?
It would cover only women

only about 6 million of the more
than "a million women now

Not covered would be workers
for laundries, hotels, restau-

Who is pushing the bill this
year and why?
The most powerful support
has come from the admins
tration, women's groups, labor
unions, The reason is that
there is open, widespread un-
justifiable, archaic discrimina-
tion on pay scales strictly be-
cause of sex, and no one denies
his. About one-third of employ
ers in one survey admitted they
had a double standard pay scale
