McCain, Clinton Pay Women Better than Obama
Cybercast News Service ^ | April 30, 2008 | Fred Lucas

CNSNews.com) - Non-intern female employees did better working on the Senate staffs of John McCain and Hillary Clinton during the latest public reporting period than they did working for Barack Obama, Cybercast News Service determined through an analysis of payroll data published by the Secretary of the Senate.

On average, women working in Obama’s Senate office were paid at least $6,000 below the average man working for the Illinois senator. That’s according to data calculated from the Report of the Secretary of the Senate, which covered the six-month period ending Sept. 30, 2007. Of the five people in Obama’s Senate office who were paid $100,000 or more on an annual basis, only one — Obama’s administrative manager — was a woman.

The average pay for the 33 men on Obama’s staff (who earned more than $23,000, the lowest annual salary paid for non-intern employees) was $59,207. The average pay for the 31 women on Obama’s staff who earned more than $23,000 per year was $48,729.91. (The average pay for all 36 male employees on Obama’s staff was $55,962; and the average pay for all 31 female employees was $48,729. The report indicated that Obama had only one paid intern during the period, who was a male.)

McCain, an Arizona senator, employed a total of 69 people during the reporting period ending in the fall of 2007, but 23 of them were interns. Of his non-intern employees, 30 were women and 16 were men. After excluding interns, the average pay for the 30 women on McCain’s staff was $59,104.51. The 16 non-intern males in McCain’s office, by comparison, were paid an average of $56,628.83.

So much for the ticket that claims they will implement “equal pay for equal work.”

The man is anti-woman. Ask hillary, ask Palin, ask the underpaid workers on his staff. What an imbecile, what a joke the messiah is. I think the democrat establishment must be in full panic mode now, and are seeking ways to replace him with hillary.

2/3 of McCain’s staff is female, and the women actually make MORE than the men.

Who is really for equal pay?

It means just as much. It implies that Obama either pays women less for the same position, or hires women for the lower paying positions.

But not nearly as much as he paid his hairdresser.
