Gender Pay Gap
« on: April 30, 2011, 08:28:26 pm »
"Women make 75 cents for every dollar men make" - Do you think this is true? The gender pay gap is a myth and here are eights reasons why.

1. Men are far more likely to choose careers that are more dangerous, so they naturally pay more.
2. Men are far more likely to work in higher-paying fields and occupations (by choice).
3. Men work in less desirable locations.
4. Men work longer hours than women do.
5. Men are more likely to work on weekends.
6. Even within the same career category, men are more likely to pursue high-stress and higher-paid areas of specialization.
7. Unmarried women who don't have children actually earn more than unmarried men.
8. Women business owners make less than half of what male business owners make, which, since they have no boss, means it’s independent of discrimination.
