In 2018, Starbucks announced it reached 100 percent pay equity for men and women and people of all races performing the same work. It took the java chain nearly 10 years to pull it off. 2018年星巴克宣称，对于从事同种工作的员工，不论其种族及性别，其收入都是平等的。该咖啡连锁店用了近10年的时间把员工的收入拉平了。 That’s still lightning quick compared to how long experts believe it will take the country to do so. 与专家所认定的该国家实现收入平等的时间相比，这已经快如闪电了。 The American Association of University Women has stated before it could be 100 years, even longer globally, before the gap closes. Their earlier data showed that, in the U.S., women were paid 80 cents for every dollar paid to men. 先前美国大学妇女联合会（AAUW）表示，缩小美国的收入差距可能需要一百年，而缩小全球的收入差距甚至需要更久。他们早期的数据显示，美国女性的收入仅为男性收入的80%。 “At the rate of change between 1960 and 2016, women are expected to reach pay equity with men in 2059. But even that slow progress has stalled in recent years,” the AAUW said. “按照1960年到2016年的收入变动率，男女收入平等有望于2059年实现。然而近几年来，甚至那样缓慢的进展都停顿了，”该联合会说道。 “If change continues at the slower rate seen since 2001, women will not reach pay equity with men until 2119.” |
