When Grace Anderson prints out her resume, she notices 20 percent of it is missing. Still, her qualifications are so good that she’s offered the job she seeks by a man who says, "We think you’ll be pleased with the offer -- that we gave someone else. You’ll be making 20 percent less."
Grace is a character in a video prepared for Equal Pay Day on April 4 by LeanIn.org, the women’s empowerment group founded by Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg. While the humorous video shows blatant discrimination, the reality of the gender wage gap is far more complex and opaque.
