1) I hear some women saying women are paid 0.70 for every dollar a man makes, or 0.77, 0.80, 0.90 and other women say they are paid the same. Please explain, only 1 can be the right answer.
2) Paying less just because of gender, race, ethnicity, etc is against the law. If a woman can prove she is getting paid less, she could file a lawsuit and make big $ off it. Please explain how a woman can get paid less, and isn't being able to file a lawsuit and make big $ a good thing?
3) I'd also like a study on salaries at least dating from 2000 (the more recent the better), comparing a man and a woman, both the same age, and both new at the job, working at the exact same job position, both working the same amount of time.(hours/week) Here is why I want all those things:
- age is factor when determining salary.
- The longer you have been working at a job the higher you get paid. Ex: If one has worked at the job for 2 years and the other 5 years, it's normal the person who has been working the longest gets paid more.
- Part-time workers will have lower wages than full-time workers.
- It’s normal different position earn different salaries. A manager will earn more than a salesman.
I don’t want every working man vs every working woman, as more men are in higher paying jobs than women, which would result in the study being inaccurate.
