RESPONSE MUST BE IN ESSAY/PARAGRAPH FORMAT

• Consider your job pay rate or a job you are familiar with.
• How might the pay rate for your job be influenced if it was a similar job in another industry or another geographic area? For example, how might your pay be different if you were employed by a small, rural grocer as compared to a large, auditing firm in a major metropolitan area or medium-sized manufacturer in a suburb? What could you do to ensure external equity in your work?

Note: Do not specify your exact pay but refer to differences in general terms or percentages for the purposes of this discussion.
