Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comparable worth laws aim to address wage disparities by ensuring that jobs of equal value receive equal pay, regardless of the gender, race, or ethnicity of the person doing the job. They indeed offer a more rigorous standard of fairness than the Equal Pay Act by tackling the issue of pay equity across different but comparable jobs, not just within the same job title.
