(26) One of the worst problems facing American women is that overall they earn about 75 cents for every dollar earned by American men. In spite of the ideal of equality of opportunity, women generally earn less money than men for doing the same work. Minorities often face similar discrimination in the workplace, earning less money than white workers with similar jobs. Some families are now beginning to question whether success is really worth the price. Some businesses provide flexible working hours and day-care centers in the building, but some do not. (27) A number of women are choosing to drop out of the workforce and stay home with their children, or to find work they can do at home—working on a computer linked to their office, for example. About three million women a year now try their hands at starting their own small businesses, following the dream of entrepreneur.
In the future, the white American male may no longer have advantages over other workers. The recent arrival of millions of new immigrants is changing the makeup of the American workforce.
(28) Studies show that within 10 or 20 years of their arrival, immigrants will earn as much or more money than people born in the United States who have similar characteristics such as age, skills, and education. Some businesses now provide English as a second language course at the workplace, and others conduct "diversity training" to promote understanding among the different racial and ethnic groups that now work together. Many believe that this multi-cultural workplace will ultimately help the United States compete in the global market-place, since American workers will represent a microcosm of the world.
26. What is the problem that American women are facing?
27.What did many women choose to do nowadays?
28.What changes will happen within 10 or 20 years according to the studies?
