President Obama spoke at Orlando’s Valencia College on Thursday, calling for equal pay for women.
“Women are still earning just 77 cents on every dollar that a man does. Women with college degrees may earn hundreds of thousands of dollars less over the course of her career than a man at the same educational level, and that’s wrong.”
“This isn’t 1958. It’s 2014.”
Obama said that it was time for Congress to pass laws that created a more family-friendly workplace environment.
“A woman deserves to take a day off to care for a sick child or a parent without running into hardship. A woman deserves work place policies that protect her right to have a baby without losing her job.”
“It’s pretty clear that, you know, if men were having babies, we’d have different policies. Right?”
