The Equal Pay Act of 1963 prohibits employers from paying different wages to which groups?

Men and women
Full-time and part-time employees
Skilled and unskilled workers
All employees

The correct answer is: Men and women

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 specifically addresses wage disparities based on sex, making it clear that employers cannot pay different wages to men and women who perform substantially the same work under similar conditions. This legislation was established to promote gender equality in the workplace and to combat the historical wage gap that exists between genders. While other options mention distinctions based on employment status or skill level, the primary focus of the Equal Pay Act is to ensure that men and women receive equal pay for equal work, regardless of their sex. Therefore, this act does not directly address wage differences related to full-time versus part-time status or the skill levels of workers but instead centers around the principle of equal compensation for individuals performing the same job functions.
