Since payroll constitutes such a large percentage of overhead in a business, and companies are getting away with paying women so much less, why hire male employees? How about the disparity between public and private sector pay? I have a new mantra: “Private sector employees make 68 cents for every public employee dollar!”.
You are right.
I’ve worked for 30 years in the financial side of a few different businesses.
In each business I’ve worked in, payroll costs, simply paying the employees, constituted the biggest expense of running the business by far.
And in each business, I never observed this alleged pay discrimination between men and women.
Some job categories contained more women than men, and vice versa.
But within job categories, every company I have worked for paid women employees on the same pay scales as men.
So I question the very premise of the liberals talking points on this one.
And again, point out that what they talk about is already against the law. So if this pay discrimination is really a problem, Obama already has all the legal tools to deal with it. Where has he been for the last six years, if this problem has been out there all these years, and he’s just now talking about it during a campaign season????
