More than ever. employers will need to concentrate on policies that will stabilize their work force. By identifying. then eliminating wage inequities based on sex. race or national origin. employers can lessen recruitment and retention problems. such as the present crisis hospitals and health care facilities are experiencing due to the nursing shortage. Since women. people of color and/or immigrants will comprise 68 percent of all new entrants into the labor force between now and the year 2000. examining discriminatory wagesetting practices in the present makes good business sense. Many employers in the private and public sectors have expressed interest in achieving pay equity in the workplace. and I think that the Federal Government should encourage those initiatives. The Civil Rights and Womens Equity in Employment Act of 1991 puts the country back on the right track.
