I also note that Keller had worked for the NYT a lot longer than Abramson when he got the positon and experience usually counts for extra pay.
Yes, except that the whole “equal pay for equal work” industry relies on ignoring that key variable.
Correct and yet she still got almost the same starting salary as he did when finished. Knock out the taxes from the $34,000 differential and the result is relative chump change. Maybe she worked herself into a completely unnecessary feminist fury strictly for the sake of appearances. DUmb move!
