Прочитайте письмо. Ответьте на вопрос. According to the survey, which of the following is true? In 1999, women represented nearly 51% of the total U.S. population and 46% of the workforce. The participation rate of women in the American workforce was the highest in the world. These figures show that the gap between men and women is narrowing in the corporate world. However, large disparities in salary still remain between men and women. For example, only 4% of female homeowners compared to 11% of their male counterparts earned as much as $85,000 a year.
