I don't need to read any further because I've read it all before. Women tend do different jobs to men. Easier, safer, less responsibility and less stress. That's not a wage gap, it's just a different choice of career. Which makes the next statement downright offensive:
> That gap, put in other terms, means women are working for free 10 weeks a year.
- crowleysimon 9y agoI suggest you go back and read further on since "Women choose lower-paying jobs" is the very first claim that they refute
- cup-of-tea 9y agoBut that doesn't take into account responsibility or actual job done at all. Organisations only have a limited number of job titles and at higher levels people are not as expendable. They do their own job. The only thing that does seem to explain a gap---but a much smaller gap---is that men are more likely to negotiate their salaries.
