Our Mission

We wish to provide a platform that can give accurate results to whether a person’s wage is fair compared to the majority. We also want to make sure to inform people which groups of people are affected by the wage gap issue and the ways they can contribute to helping resolve this issue in the case that they are the people affected by the wage gap issue.
