  • Paychecks are already fair. Women continue to reject harder work for longer hours for more pay.

    With full access to college education, women continue to shun computer science with a 20% participation rate while flocking to Psychology for which degrees have exploded by 4x over the last thirty years. 1/20 male MBAs and 1/3 of female MBAs never work full-time. Women *CHOOSE* lower paying careers because women are able to get men to pay their bills.

  • So, how should the gap be closed ? Should women be forced to work outdoors in uncomfortable, dangerous construction jobs for higher pay? Should women be forced to work as many hours as men do by taking more full-time jobs?

    Women work fewer years yet live five year longer than men, thus drawing at least 50% more SocSec while contributing much less to that pay system.

  • How about Equal Labor Conditions Day, which would be something like January 7th? That would be the time men need to work to sustain the same number of workplace deaths as women do for the entire year.

  • I would vote for an Equal Money System

  • Jayhammers posts the exact same comment to all wage gap videos. He has yet to substantiate his erronious claims with documented studies or research. His commentary is based on mysoginistic and outdated views. Very deceitful. And redundent. Totuing the same misguided information repititiously does not magically make it become true.

  • The 77 cents number is grossly inaccurate. Women make less because they work less, they choose easier jobs, they work part-time more often, and they take time off of work more often. For equal work, men actually get paid less in the young generations, due to all the programs out there to make it easier for women to get jobs (and therefore harder for men to).

    Ms. Graves knows this very well. Very deceitful.
