Gender Gap

[Star]

You're wrong, Huffingtonpost is not the source, AAUW is the source - lookitup.

Read. I said your source, not the source. I'm not going to track down the source and its' source if you are too lazy to and it was your point. I'll just laugh it off since it's BS anyway. What's the solution, pay women more for less hours or make them stop having babies?

SMH@ U
Pot calling the kettle black? - yep!
I looked it up, c&ped parts of it, linked to it - you on the other hand have posted your misogynistic feeeelings.

I think this is Iceweasel's,
I found it on a USMB thread titled Gender Gap

I posted the truth so the feelings are all yours. Next time don't use a opinion site for credibility.

Yes, of course, businesses don't want the best person for the job, that would increase profits, and I know of no business that would ever want that.

"While it remains important to note that geography and local industry have a large influence on differing salaries, there are other major factors that come into play -- namely education level, race/ethnicity and age."

Females are college graduates these days at a higher percent than men so the study is BS.

Race, ethnicity and age? LOL. More women do decide to stay home more and do more with kids, that's a given. But to use that as discrimination of some sort is just mindless.

You're wrong, Huffingtonpost is not the source, AAUW is the source - lookitup.

Did you forget to c&p the qualifier here☞"AAUW analyzed the pay gap by looking at full-time, year-round workers over the age of 15. Beyond comparing salaries of all men to salaries of all women, the report broke down wage imbalances between the sexes along three additional demographics: race/ethnicity, education level and age." to your c&p quote from the OP here☞ "While it remains important to note that geography and local industry have a large influence on differing salaries, there are other major factors that come into play -- namely education level, race/ethnicity and age."? and-----and even when AAUW took your extraneous factors into account here☞ "even after controlling for occupation, industry, hours, work experience, college major, religion, race/ethnicity, GPA, education, number of children and marital status..." women are still-----still paid less.
.

Your bad at debating. You just citing the libtard demographis argument used on all of your debates. The problem is experience not education, hours or race. The problem is qualifications require experience and certs and other things to effect a pay increaee. If you work in IT but dont have an A+ cert, i dont care if you went to harvard, you arent going far and paywill lag.

The issue with women is they lose productive working years due to childbearing. They sometimes take a few mknths or even a few years and you cant get that time back and it effects your pay. So if you are unemployed for a few years, male or female, hou will take a huge hit in your own marketability and sometimes start over from the bottom.

The Myth of Unfair Paychecks

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Equal pay for equal work.

Why is it that its always the right that is against equality of ALL kinds for ALL people?

With few exceptions there is equal pay for equal work. Men on average work more hours than women and they also choose more high risk occupations (which usually mean higher paying jobs).

THE NEW WORKFORCE: YOUNG, RICH AND FEMALE

Women now fill a majority of jobs in the U.S., including 51.4 percent of managerial and professional positions;

Women 30 and under make 8% more money, on average, than their male counterparts in all but three of the largest cities in the U.S.;

Young women (ages 18-34) value a high-paying career more than young men;
23 percent of wives now out-earn their husbands;

During the recent recession, three men lost their jobs for every woman;

For every two men who will receive bachelor’s degrees this year, three women will do the same;
60% of all Masters degrees are going to women;

Homes are now purchased twice as often by women than men.

Jena McGregor: "While the percentage of women in Congress has slightly improved, from 17 to 18 percent, the United States still ranks 60th overall in terms of equality for female political leaders."​

Maybe more women should run for congress more often.
It's not like 50% of congressional candidates are female.
It's almost as if the press and the OP think 50% of the votes should go to female candidates when only 17% of the candidates are female.
Can you say "Quota"?

Blue bold above is important to note.
Especially since most don't know it due to how the media reports.

You are wrong. Women are still paid less - on average. And Republicans filibustered a law that would have allowed women more opportunity to sue.

The problem is with studies, they are biased. Women make less than men mostly because of child bearing and a host of other choices. They have to take time off, a leave of abscence, therefore they fall behind in experience and earn less. Ive seen studies that show the same qualifications and experience, a gender pay gap is negliable

The Gender Pay Gap Is Alive And Well In All 50 States, Shows Study

The Huffington Post | by Alanna Vagianos
03/14/2014

<snip>

While the pay gap is partially due to factors such as college major and type of job pursued after graduation, there is still a large part that cannot be explained by individual choice. In a 2012 analysis, AAUW found that even after controlling for occupation, industry, hours, work experience, college major, religion, race/ethnicity, GPA, education, number of children and marital status, women are paid only 82 percent of what their male peers are earning just a year after college graduation. Ten years out of college, the gap widens with women earning a mere 69 percent of what men earn.

"Ten years out of college, the gap widens

1. There is no such wage differential between men and women.

2. But...the concept does have an important function: it serves as a one question Stanford-Binet IQ test.

If you believe the myth, you fail the test.



Raise your paw.

You don't seem to understand the concept-----the concept of equal pay for equal work - get it, same work-same pay, simple huh? Qualifications i.e. certificates, education, experience, etc are all considerations for being hired but-----but once hired - equal pay for equal work...


Texas GOP struggles with equal pay for equal work

03/19/14
By Steve Benen

Over the weekend, Cari Christman, the executive director of a political action committee for Texas Republican women, struggled a bit when explaining her party’s opposition to pay-equity laws. As Christman argued in a televised interview, women don’t need measures like the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, largely because “women are extremely busy.”

<snip>

Indeed, conservatives may want to re-familiarize themselves with the basics of Lilly Ledbetter’s story – she was an exemplary staffer at a Goodyear tire factory in Alabama, but after nearly two decades of work, she quietly received a note informing her she’d been paid 40 percent less than her male colleagues.

It was a problem that wasn’t going to be solved by becoming a better negotiator,

What’s more, let’s not lose sight of the larger context here. This has become an issue of late because Greg Abbott, Texas’ Republican gubernatorial candidate, has refused to endorse pay-equity measures like the Fair Pay Act. His allies are trying to provide a coherent defense, but apparently they can’t think of anything persuasive.


<snip>


Yikes, a would be governor of a major state in the Land of the Free is against fairness for all-----all his constituents. I guess getting a big ol' settlement from the accident that disabled him can influence his attitude about discrimination in the workplace?
