Week of February 9, 2009<\/strong><\/h3>\n

News Item<\/strong>: President Barack Obama recently signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 which makes it easier for workers, regardless of race, age, and gender, to get the pay they deserve. Also, the New York Times reports that women are likely to take the majority in the labor force for the first time in U.S. history. However, this has more to do with the current recession rather than gender equity as men have been on the receiving end of at least 82 percent of recent job losses.<\/p>\n
