The ERA, back from the dead.
If women are paid less for equal work, why would any employer hire a man?
What’s the average pay of African-Americans vs. everyone else, or Asian-Americans vs. everyone else, or ugly people vs. everyone else, etc. The march toward socialism continues...
Having to have George Miller as the permanent House member for the district I lived in is yet another reason why I moved out of California.
I have lost count of the number of them, but every day seems to bring a few more I hadn’t even thought of.
My sister managed to get her husband a job at the same company in Boston after he got laid off. They are both architects and she was torqued off that he got more pay than her. The problem was he asked for the higher rate and they gave it to him.
I’d really like to see the raw data they are using to make these silly comparisons. Statistics - what an easily manipulated means of comparing disparate issues.
Pelosi is a sleaze bag demo-whore. Now pandering for the female vote for 2008 — gee, I thought she was thrown in jail for breaking foreign policy laws — not yet?? Oh well, hopefully soon.
Negotiators Agree on War-Funding Package ~ War Supplemental Now Includes Minimum-Wage Increase?
Pelosi makes a lot more than I do, and she doesn’t do squat.
Uhh Nancy, if you force employers to pay men and women equally, there are going to be a lot of women in the unemployment line.
Of course that’s what the Rats want in the first place, more serfs beholden to them.
Besides the factors for
choosing fields that aren’t paid as much
working fewer hours
unwillingness to travel
taking more time off for families, short or extended
there is the factor, covered by Suze Orman, that women don’t negotiate hard enough for the higher pay.
Luckily, I'm sure that money just comes out of thin air.
I bet they cannot point to one single place in America that men are paid more than women for the same job, NOT ONE!...........It’s illegal to do so.......
ping.
Wage differentials have existed since they started keeping wage data, which suggests that there is something fundamental in the market place that persists the wage differential. Even older studies by Parnes, Fleischer, and others show that labor force participation rates and persistence explains most of the wage differential. Historically, women have a weaker attachment to the labor force and losing them to raise a family or to drop out after the family expenditures are met (e.g., saving for college educations) is a major factor for the wage differences.
While everyone can relate a story of just the opposite for such-and-such a person, on average, it is the looser attachment to the labor force that helps perpetuate the wage differentials. In typical Dem fashion, Pelosi and her ilk think they can outperform the market place. She has hubris on a scale never before seen by man nor woman.
What a disaster this would be. Folks, men and woman alike, should be paid for performance. Any two people working the same job, it should be apparant to their direct supervisor who has more zeal for the job, who is more effective, who has more potential and likely to realize it.
Pelosi should resign.
I was in Romania last week and there everyone is paid pretty much evenly, but women get TWO YEARS PAID materity leave. Men don’t get this....I think that is unfair. lol. The poor Italian women only get six months up to a year. They are ripped off. lol.
