Unequal Pay
1. How did you feel when you realized there was such an unequal pay amount between workers and bosses? I felt like it was unfair because workers work really hard and workers spend there time to work for a job and work for people. But I also think that it’s fair because bosses work hard running a business.
2. Why does unequal pay between workers and bosses happen? Because bosses work usually work a little harder depending on the job because they have to run a business.
3. What is a realistic solution to prevent such unequal pay from happening in the future?W Maybe making sure that is people get a higher pay then they are working hard because you could have a good job with good pay but you don’t do anything.
4. What is one topic that has interested you thus far and why is it interesting to you (ex: evictions, utility meters, unequal pay, taxes, rent). I think rent and taxes because I didn’t know how to do rent and taxes also I didn’t know how expensive it was so it was very interesting learning about different rents and taxes.
