Congress finds the following: People in the United States understand that intentional workplace discrimination is wrong. Equal pay for equal work is a principle and practice that should be observed by all employers. Women constitute a significant portion of the workforce of the United States. An increasing number of families in the United States depend on the income of a working woman. Many women are pursuing or have attained postsecondary degrees or specialized training to make them strong candidates for good jobs that will provide for their families. Employers that intentionally discriminate on the basis of sex should be held accountable for their wrongdoing.
