Where are all these jobs where women are paid so much less than men?

They don't exist. If a business owner really could pay a woman 70% of what he could pay a man for equal work, he wouldn't ever hire a man.

In all my experience n HR, I haven't seen this.

i'd definitely be curious to see a nationwide survey of the perception of HR professionals on this issue

I can't speak for the entire nation of HR execs but I'm very involved at the national level for SHRM. There's the occasional conference or article about it but many, many more about the gender gap in science & math careers. A lot more focus & money goes into recruiting women & minorities for those careers than on any income disparity between genders.

I have a very large network of HR execs (private, public & government) and that has been our biggest topic of conversation the past 10 years. I heard a lot more about gender income issues when I just started out in the 90s.

I actually think a law should be passed to force women into fields where you don't see them like construction workers, miners, etc. There are few in those fields because...

This is why I hate the numbers game the dems play and cry about how women are paid less yet when we have comparable jobs, they are paid the same and often more. In advertising, marketing and PR women make more than men and you'll never hear them say it is unfair for them to make more in those fields.

But the hookers and strippers should make up for it

What about journalism, Hollywood, and academia? Those are the last bastions of patriarchy.

That's it, they're not being paid less for equivalent skills and work.

That's about what I figured.

I make really nice six figure income. I work circles around my wife but she earns double what I do. I want some equality, damn it!
