Wage inequality and women
Posted on 2/3/14 at 9:02 am
Posted on 2/3/14 at 9:02 am
In 2010 the median income of FTYR workers was $42,800 for men, compared to $34,700 for women. The female-to-male earnings ratio was 0.81, slightly higher than the 2008 ratio. (per wiki)
I am curious. Is there data that shows that the average woman, over a 40 year work life (25-65) will be out of the office roughly 20% of the time with family issues?
i am curious that the OT says.
I believe that if a man and woman, on average, were paid the same dollar for dollar that the man would then be in a position of inequity. Over those same 40 years I will see zero days out of the office for reasons that are legally afforded to a woman.

Women want to make the same money and still have guys pay for their shite. Trifling hoes.

It
is
bullshite
Studies don't account for the fact that men and women often take type of different jobs (College education examples would be teachers versus engineers, non college education would be oil rig workers versus customer service/retail).
It also doesn't take into account that women often take time off for family and stuff like that so they tend to have less experience than their male counterparts.
Even further, men are more likely to negotiate and fight for higher salaries. Women tend to value work life balance and stuff of that nature more so than men. Basically, they are just happy having jobs more so than men.
The truth is, that is women really made 20% less than men for the same job, companies would be hiring them like crazy to help the bottom line.
It is a bullshite argument/talking point parroted by morons.

Women work lower paying jobs on average. Women change jobs or even career fields more often. Women get pregnant.

Go read Freakonomics or SuperFreakonomics (can't remember which one)...
In it there is a chapter on a study on sick time usage done on a large Italian bank where the results showed that women took a significant amount more sick time and funnily enough, took sick days pretty regularly in 28-day cycles.
Point being, women work less, thus they get paid less.

Median income should be irrelevant. What is relevant is whether men and women make the same pay when they are doing the same job.

Either way, this is not comparing Apples to Apples.
