Life is ok. Got a fair mix of good and tough now so meh. And your comment was worded well and actually explained it and I was too lazy to explain so don't feel dumb.
well it's good that life isn't bad at at least. I always feel like I write in a barely understandable manner ^-^' I am trying to figure out what to do with Ramire since I don't know what types of words/phrases to add
its not inaccurate, its misunderstood and misapplied. when all income is averaged together, women make less, but that is not typically the case anymore when you compare equal employees, its just that jobs that are higher paying in general have a higher % men, skewing the number. the problem is not equal pay, its equal representation within fields that have higher pay, which does not tend to be a problem with employers, but a problem with what we teach to kids about the jobs they should want based on gender. even with that, if you want to have a better idea where we are NOW with these numbers, you have to factor in age to know where we are REALLY at because higher paying jobs tend to be careers, so even if today all people just starting careers were an equal ratio men to women, the older folks from unequal generations are still present to skew numbers.
that statistic is skewed because it is the total average of all fields of work, and statistically more women take lower paying jobs (such as daycare work, lower level teaching, ect.) men take these jobs as well but not in the same numbers resulting in the skewed number the wages in job fields are typically even between them, skewed only by possibly raises employees may have. Sorry for the long, rather poorly worded comment.
Generally employers seem to believe men cause less trouble and work more. Plus a woman could get pregnant and take maternity vacations.
The statistics aren't allways acurate for any job field but have been proved to be true: Generally women get paid less than man for the same jod.
No Random, you are incorrect. When it comes to employment, if someone could pay leass for the same level of work they would (regardless of sex). Follow the $.
It's a legitimate question...why would someone interested in his bottom line hire someone who earns 33% more for the same work? It points out that the "statistic" that so ten gets quoted has some errors...it accounts for all women and all men without accounting for types of jobs or years of experience. I looked into the numbers thinking "they MUST have accounted for those factors because the information would be meaningless otherwise," and it turned out that this statistic IS meaningless because it's just the raw totals compared to each other.
I think at some point in time women were actually getting hired more than men because of cheap labor. Then lawmakers approved this act to help diffuse the situation.
If no men had work women would be paid the same wage as everyone, but if they hire some men they can keep paying women 25% less. The sexism goes so deep.
