Women are less aggressive in establishing pay as said in the article and are also more likely to leave the workforce.
Pay isn't just about paying you for your work. Pay from your employer is also partially an incentive from your employer to stay with them and not go somewhere else. You are an investment by your employer. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to hire and train workers in corporate fields. They don't want you to leave. Women are more likely to jump ship for non-work related reasons - whether that be for family (marriage, maternity), career changes (women change career paths more often than men), and medical (women take more sick days, work less hours, and are more frequently file for disability).
Fact of the matter is men are more driven, focused workers in most professional fields. I'm not saying men are always the "better" worker, but in most instances because of social pressures and natural tendencies, men are the more aggressive, career-minded, focused, and driven individuals who work longer hours and take less time off from the job.

[quote]Women are less aggressive in establishing pay as said in the article and are also more likely to leave the workforce.[/quote]This is true, but that cannot account for the entire gap. But if so, and little to no discrimination is responsible for the wage gap, then whatever enacted laws would have caused no harm. [quote]Pay isn't just about paying you for your work.

Also you cannot just make the claim that men are better at work than females because they are 'inferior.'

Edited by A Good Troll: 4/11/2013 8:39:54 PMThe study you listed does not include subjective factors like I wrote. Likewise when you replied the same way to other people in the thread with other valid opinions. The study you listed is the average pay of a male in a job versus the average pay of a female. Nothing more. There is no "factoring in" to the data.

...Except there is?

Edited by A Good Troll: 4/11/2013 8:47:38 PMNo, it isn't. The study lists median weekly earnings of women as a percentage of men's in a given field. That is it. People have tried to explain this to you. There is no regression analysis done here. Education, experience, etc. are not controlled for.
-
Work hours and profession are factored in. You can see for yourself.

Work hours are not. This is median weekly salary, not median weekly hourly pay. [quote]Among full-time workers (that is, those working 35 hours or more per week in their sole or principal job), men were more likely than women to have a longer workweek.[/quote] Men work longer. Obviously, they're going to bring home higher weekly pay. And I didn't dispute profession is considered.

[quote]Sixty-two percent of women and 56 percent of men employed in wage and salary jobs were paid by the hour in 2010. Women who were paid hourly rates had median hourly earnings of $11.83, 86 percent of the median for men paid by the hour ($13.76). (See tables 9, 10, and 18–21.)[/quote]However the gap still exists when you compare them by the hour.
