Bloomberg News Confirms Gender Pay Gap

Shining Shoes Best Way Wall Street Women Outearn Men


Women who want to earn more on Wall Street than their male colleagues have one reliable option. They can set up a shoe-shine stand in Lower Manhattan.

Female personal care and service workers, which include butlers, valets, house sitters and shoe shiners, earned $1.02 for every $1 their male counterparts made in 2010, according to census data compiled by Bloomberg. That job category, which covers 38,210 full-time workers in the U.S., was the only one of 265 major occupations where the median female salary exceeded the amount paid to men.

The six jobs with the largest gender gap in pay and at least 10,000 men and 10,000 women were in the Wall Street-heavy financial sector: insurance agents, managers, clerks, securities sales agents, personal advisers and other specialists. Advanced- degree professions proved no better predictors of equality. Female doctors made 63 cents for every $1 earned by male physicians and surgeons, the data show. Female chief executives earned 74 cents for every $1 made by male counterparts.

The Census Bureau figures underscore the lack of financial progress made in the generation since women began leaving the home and moving into the workforce in large numbers. While the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression initially hit women less severely, their median earnings still trailed men in 505 of 525 occupations tracked by the federal government.

“We don’t see the pay gap closing,” Ilene H. Lang, president and chief executive officer of Catalyst, a New York- based nonprofit group that seeks to advance women in business, said in a telephone interview. “It’s persistent.”

the very first thing asswipe supposedly did was to sign a bill wiping the gender gap out.. wtf happened doyathink?

Cute but meaningless.

Because starvation and death is not an option.

Ahh yes. The liberal standard no rebuttal fall back position. The all or nothing straw man argument.
It won't wash here.

In any field that is not dependent on brute strength, and women put in the same number of hours and have the same level of expertise as men, they make commensurate pay. The highest earnings for real estate agents and brokers are earned by women; far and away. Sales is s field women excel in.

How dare you....Blow the liberal point of view out of the water?

At the present moment in America there are more women employed than men, and there are more women earning degrees than men.
