Their more affluent peers hire women like them to do the dirty work, or else they have had to deal with stagnant minimum-wage pay in the US labor market’s “pink-collar” or service-industry ghetto. Their ceiling is made of concrete, and it is pitched far lower over their talents and their mobility.
她们那些更加富有的女同胞雇佣她们这样的女性去干脏活，或者她们不得不去美国劳工市场的“粉领”集聚地或服务业工作，接受永远停滞不动的最最微薄的工资。她们头顶的障碍是用混凝土制成的，并且远远低于她们的才能和流动性。总之，她们在实际上以及符号上都被排斥在这个国家的政治话语权之外，并且常常遭到政客们傲慢的对待。
