Gender Pay Gap

The gender pay gap made the news, again. The Marxist never give up trying to manage people's lives.

The American Association of University Women, AAUW, http://www.aauw.org/index.cfm has been a socialist organization for a long time. They lobby for more money to promote their political agenda of "empowering women". At least they admit it, they love power. There are more women, 57%, in college than men. http://tinyurl.com/acxkn Why is there no American Association of University Men?

The AAUW wants legislation, The Paycheck Fairness Act. http://tinyurl.com/2tdetl This act will be a dream for the American Bar Association. The Paycheck Fairness Act will encumber American business with more paperwork and lawsuits. It is filled with Marxist double Speak. If Hillary takes the White House and Barbara Boxer remains Speaker of the House, expect the Paycheck Fairness Act to become law. With the lobbying efforts of the ABA, AARP (more women members than men) and other feminist organizations, the American Chamber of Commerce will loose, and America will become more socialist.

The AAUW report refuses to acknowledge Warren Farrell's excellent book, "Why Men Earn More". Farrell gives data to show why men earn more. http://www.warrenfarrell.com/

The pay gap referred to by the AAUW fails to include alimony.

All news stories fail to mention that women may earn less, but they spend more, or more money is spent on them by men.

I hope women start earning more than men. Then they can pay the taxes that they consume, more than men. More taxes are spent on women through Medicare, social security and other government programs because women live longer than men. Women visit doctors more often than men.

I hope women start earning more than men. Then they can pay alimony and child support.

Women make only 80 percent of the salaries their male peers do one year after college; after 10 years in the work force, the gap between their pay widens further, according to a study released Monday.

The study, by the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation, found that 10 years after college, women earn only 69 percent of what men earn.

Even after controlling for hours, occupation, parenthood, and other factors known to affect earnings, the study found that one-quarter of the pay gap remains unexplained. The group said that portion of the gap is "likely due to sex discrimination."

"Over time, the unexplained portion of the pay gap grows," the group said in a news release.
Catherine Hill, the organization's director of research, said: "Part of the wage difference is a result of people's choices, another part is employer's assumptions of what people's choices will be. ... Employers assume that young women are going to leave the work force when they have children, and, therefore, don't promote them."
The organization found that women's scholastic performance was not reflected in their compensation. Women have slightly higher grade point averages than men in every major, including science and math. But women who attend highly selective colleges earn the same as men who attend minimally selective colleges, according to the study.

"The pay gap is not going to disappear just through educational achievements," Hill said. (Meaning-pass more laws)
