What myth about unequal pay?

Have women finally achieved pay parity with men and no one told me?

Right. So you're saying that you aren't familiar with how unequal pay plays out in practice.

You're pretty much completely incorrect on both those points.

It happens more along these lines: even with equal, and sometimes superior training and job skills, many employers will pick a male applicant over a female. This happens predominantly in career fields that people see as stereotypically "male" jobs. Somehow computer programming has ended up on the "boys" list.


I've had a few jobs where, on doing a little investigation, I've found that I was the lowest paid member on the team. The "off the record" reason given was, if I didn't pan out in the stereotypically "male" position, the company wouldn't be wasting as much money on me.

Some employers will also pay a woman less operating on the assumption that "She'll get pregnant and have to take time off". You honestly see most of this happen in the "small-business" world.

the last 10GÇô20% of the gap

For most, it's just he former and then there are structural inequalities on top of that. For a select few, it's a combination of both. Either way, the myth is itself a myth, probably born out of people believing that it's just a matter of choice.

If I wanted to talk about averages, I would have said 20GÇô40% insteadGǪ

and what you're effectively saying GÇö GÇ£it doesn't exist because [laws]GÇ¥ GÇö is why I'm jumping to the conclusion that you're not familiar with how it plays out in practice. Dismissing the facts as myth because those facts shouldn't exist is pretty na+»ve.

Gee it's almost as if those who do studies know how to control for different factors.

Pay inequality is only a very small part of a larger and significantly more complex issue. Sure there's progress being made, but that doesn't mean our work is done. Not by far.

I like the part where the report says that the wage disparity is ...just 21.5%...

I can just imagine if the pay gap favoured women, men saying, well that's all right then, things are getting better, no need to push for more equality now...

If they did, controlling for these factors should cause the gap to disappear.

But it doesn't. It also fails to investigate why women are more likely to take part-time jobs or work in lower paying fields. This might be tied to discrimination. It might not be.

we would like to know maybe to brainstorm new ideas in preventing such behavior and help them in coping better with loses and wins. Your feedback is very important!
