A year before leaving office, President Barack Obama announced new steps to narrow what was described as a gender pay gap.

Obama directed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), in partnership with the Department of Labor, to annually collect pay data by gender, race and ethnicity from businesses with 100 or more employees.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration put that Obama-era order on hold.

In a memo to the EEOC, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said it is launching a review of the effectiveness of the equal pay data collection initiative.

Trump should ban ALL Federal agencies from collecting ANY data on Americans’ race or gender.

If this was so vital, why didn't Clinton order it during his 8 years, or Obama in the first 7 years he was in office?

Remember how Clinton changed the rules about arsenic in water just before leaving office...creating a big PR problem for Bush. Of course the media that was convinced that Bush wanted to poison children never asked why Clinton waited 8 years for the new rules.

Good. This country severely idolizes those three things: Gender, Race, Ethnicity
