The Equal Pay Act of 1963 was a law amending the Fair Labor Standards Act. It was signed into law on June 10, 1963 by John F. Kennedy as part of his New Frontier Program.
The object of the bill was to force employers not to discriminate against female employees by paying them less than their male employees.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that since the passage of the law, women's salaries have drastically increased over the years.

TaigaSince the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, women who are performing the same job as their male colleagues, have been given the right to file a discrimination complaint in order to rectify wage disparity. Although unequal pay exists to this day, the EPA at least provides a remedy to women who are paid less than me despite doing the same job.

Is the equal pay act included in the constitution?
No, the equal pay act is not included in the Constitution. Actually, the very use of the word "Act" means it is a statute, not part of the Constitution. The Constitution has a general requirement of equality of treatment, but that requirement is not absolute. It is not in the Constitution because the Constitution is a fundamental powers document. From those powers come the right to make laws governing individual situations, like pay, voting, segregation, etc. It could not cover every instance of every area where an issue of equality of treatment arises.
