Which Part of a Woman is 23% less than a Man?

41. being in the "same industry" does not mean doing the same job

A woman who works at Hardees and a man who works at McDonald's are in the same industry.

Yet, if they are not paid the same, it's not because of discrimination.

A man who has been at Dairy Queen for five years and a woman who just got hired last fall, may be doing the same job, but should they be paid the same? One has five years of experience and the other does not.

A man and a woman with the same hourly rate will have different total earnings if they work a different number of hours, but there is NO wage disrimination involved (although there might be some favoritism over WHO gets the hours).

You simply do NOT compare job to job by comparing medians. Show me a man who gets hired at Wal-mart for $9 an hour and show me a woman hired at the same time, for the same job, for $8.10 an hour and there's a wage gap.

Just compare a bunch of medians by industry and you are NOT comparing equal situations.

Stuff like THIS is just stupid.

"The pay gap also exists among women without children.
AAUW’s Graduating to a Pay Gap found that among full-time workers one year after college graduation — nearly all of whom were childless — women were paid just 82 percent of what their male counterparts were paid."

Like they all have the same major and are working for the same employer in the same job classification. Oh no, it's discrimination when a man hired as a systems analyst for Honeywell in Chicago makes more than a woman hired as an accountant in Topeka, Kansas. They are both one year out of college, they should make the same income!!

Or else it's a pay GAP dammit! It's unfair!!!1 Discrimination!!!

NONE of those "statistics" are comparing people in the SAME job for the SAME employer in the SAME city.
