Answer to Question 2

Although a comparable worth pay system may help eliminate wage discrimination, many economists are critical of such a pay system. They argue there are many subtle differences between jobs that help explain wage differentials that have nothing to do with discrimination. Economists do not deny the negative consequences associated with discrimination. But, they do argue that a bureaucratically administered comparable worth pay system may offer little, if any improvement. Most economists favor other methods to address discrimination.
