Labor Market Inequalities

After reviewing this week’s readings and videos, identify an inequality within the labor market and conduct additional research by reading at least two scholarly articles on a topic of interest. Expand your consideration of inequalities beyond the traditional narrative heard throughout the media. Feel free to explore inequalities beyond those experienced by women, minorities, and immigrants if you find enough research to support a substantive discussion.

To provide context for an in-depth discussion, compose the following for the topic you selected:

• an historical background
• an overview of current research
• critiques of at least two current policies created to negate the inequality

Be sure to only share substantiated ideas using evidence from appropriate sources rather than relying on opinions.
