And I think you hit the dirty secret that people who use the 77% number tend to ignore. There are fundamental differences in the kinds of work and the general approach to work that males and females take. Nothing wrong with that, but to ignore that in the discussion would be a disservice.
What this shows is that at least 7% of a wage gap could be considered normal and to be expected.
- ThrustVectoring 9y ago>There are fundamental differences in the kinds of work and the general approach to work that males and females take. Exactly this. There's a reason why most CEOs are men - they had to put in inordinate amount of work competing in climbing the corporate ladder. I'm not jealous of them: they have the CEO title, I have an extra thirty to fifty hours a week over a decade.
