which of the following are true about women’s equality in the workplace?
□ jobs traditionally held by women pay less than many of the jobs traditionally held by men.
□ younger women have trouble getting jobs that are equal in pay because fewer young women than young men have college degrees.
□ the average pay for women workers was only 83 percent of the amount earned by male workers in 2020.
□ about half of major u.s. corporations have women in the top executive position.

Explanation:

• First option: Occupational segregation and pay disparities exist, with female - dominated jobs often having lower pay than male - dominated ones. So this statement is true.
• Second option: Younger women actually have a higher rate of college graduation than younger men in many cases, and the reason for trouble in getting equal - pay jobs is not related to fewer college degrees. So this statement is false.
• Third option: In 2020, the gender pay gap showed that women's average pay was around 83% of men's, which is a well - documented statistic. So this statement is true.
• Fourth option: The proportion of women in top executive positions in major U.S. corporations is still relatively low, and about half is not an accurate representation of the current situation. So this statement is false.

Answer:

A. Jobs traditionally held by women pay less than many of the jobs traditionally held by men.
C. The average pay for women workers was only 83 percent of the amount earned by male workers in 2020.
