1. You are researching pay gaps at a local hospital. You find that nurses working in maternity are paid 20% less than ER nurses who are both paid less than ER doctors. You also find that maternity nurses are 90% female, while ER nurses are 60% female and 40% male and ER doctors are almost all male. Is the hospital practicing discrimination?

2. In the American South in the 1960s, it was hard for African-Americans to work in jobs that required a lot of skill due to discrimination. Analyze the consequences of this discrimination for black and white workers both at the current time and into the future (think 30 years).
