How have courts treated the issue of discrimination in the nursing profession?

11 The nurses in Lemons did not want to be paid as nurses in the community were paid because, they argued, the local market price for nurses was depressed because of past social discrimination. The nursing faculty's arguments here also rely on their historically depressed wages being due to discrimination in an imperfect market. Courts are not competent to engage in a sweeping revision of market wage rates. Cf. Christensen v. State of Iowa, 563 F.2d 353, 356 (8th Cir.1977) (Title VII not intended to abrogate the laws of supply and demand).
