Emma Spreng, Chapter 5, Question #6

In chapter 6, Wheelan talks about information and how that affects us all. An example he used that stuck out to me was when he talked about two people, a man and a women, up for the same position for a job , and how the man was most likely going to get it. The company hiring thinks about where you are at in your life and many women just starting their careers are also at the age of starting a family. This would mean she would need to take paid maternity leave and the company would lose money as well as labor. So to avoid this they would hire the man. To me this is incredibly unfair, the women could have a better resume and be better for the job but just because she MIGHT want to have a baby some time in the future, the job is gone.
