Description
This is an appeal from a judgment determining that appellees practice of paying higher wages to "male nursing assistants" than those paid to "nurse assistants" who are female does not violate the Equal Pay Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C. ? 206(d) (1), (3) because the wage differential was justified by differences in skill, effort, and responsibility and by dissimilarities in working conditions. This appeal requires us to examine the district courts findings of fact to determine whether they are supported by the evidence, and whether they permit, as a matter of law, its conclusion that male nursing assistants are required to exert substantially greater effort, to employ substantially greater skills, and to assume substantially greater responsibility than nurse assistants.
