Obama signs US workforce anti-discrimination law

President Obama signed his first bill into law handing his labor and women's rights backers a victory by reversing a 2007 US Supreme Court decision that made it harder to sue for pay discrimination. On average, US women are paid 23% less than men while minority women receive even less.

There is certainly great hope that the Obama Adminstration will deliver positive progress for women. One of the biggest issues right now is that many of the fiscal stimulus packages being released by governments around the world are clearly focusing on construction, infrastructure and capital works (i.e more male-dominated industries) but the question will be whether support is needed for areas like healthcare and retail where more women are employed.
