Taylor Evans · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The Equal Pay Act prohibits sex-based wage discrimination between men and women who perform jobs that require substantially equal skill, effort, and responsibility under similar working conditions. Since Jose and the female dancers work the same number of hours and perform the same job, Jose can argue that he is entitled to the same pay as the females.
