Wage Gap in North Carolina

http://www.thinkncfirst.org/research/what-is-north-carolinas-wage-gap-costing-women This article shows the data that supports men getting paid more than women in North Carolina. The average amount of money men make per year is $7299 more than the average amount of money that women make per year. Women obviously need that money more than the men because women are the people who have to put up with the men which is possibly the hardest job in the world. To me this relates to the men in to kill a mockingbird having better jobs than the women. Atticus was a lawyer and was able to support his family by himself and afford a maid while the other women rarely worked and if they did it was not much at all because they had husbands to support them. This is wrong because with the women depending so much on the men it was very hard to get out of that situation and start working to provide for themselves. Women only in the past 30ish years are learning how to provide for themselves but it should have been done so long ago.
