As a recent college graduate, I have to admit that in the months leading up to and following graduation, I wasn’t as concerned about whether I would receive fair pay as I was about whether I would find a job.

We’ve all heard it. Women earn just 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. As men, we may instinctively feel empathy for our female friends and casually support the cause for paycheck fairness.
