Abstract
Women in statistical and mathematical industries are continuing to be mistreated within the workforce. Women are constantly being paid less than men, despite prior qualifications that should show otherwise. An overall pay gap between male and female employees not only affects the women’s work at the company, but also their lives outside of the corporate world. This thesis analyzes the direct effects of this pay difference, and how women are truly treated throughout the working world. The data collected through surveys is used as the basis in determining the real pay gap, and the overall emotions and degree of comfort women feel in their offices. Analysis using a linear regression model aided in the conclusions drawn from the survey. Additional reasonings and further implications of results are discussed throughout the thesis.
