Lately I've been reading primarily extensive work-related materials, which can be time consuming.

But I recently read an interesting article in The Journal of American Medicine, concerning wage differentials among nursing professionals. The troubling aspect in that short study revealed that male nurses were often better compensated vs their female counterparts. Not sure what to think about the data presented in the study, but it's a harsh reminder that women are not receiving equitable treatment and are marginalized in what has typically been anchored by an predominant female work force (body of labor).

That job will never ever be completed: it’s one that requires rigorous attention and unfading wherewithal and all hands. The work is the keeping of the promises of our promised land. The practice of decency, the protection of freedom, and the promotion of liberty for all. With no exceptions. That takes a lot of work done on multiple job sites, every single day. And you can call each of them a battle for truth, justice and the American way,” — Tom Hanks.
