Despite some gains at the higher income levels over the last two years, women in the United States still earn less money than men. This according to the federal Government Accountability Office. The GAO presented a report last week to a House of Representatives committee which indicates that salary parity between men and women in the United States has not yet been reached. Those findings grabbed attention of policymakers and the media: a bill called the "Paycheck Fairness Act," which toughens employers` legal responsibility to eliminate gender discrimination, is about to be introduced in the U.S. Senate. Tatiana Vorozhko has the details.

  • THE PAY GAP IS A FUCKING LIE!!!!!!!!!! they dont get paid less for the same they get paid less because they DO NOT DO THE SAME AND ON AVERAGE COST COMPANIES WAAAAAY MORE

  • US corporations are deceptive with the title manager. Women are promoted quickly into various "Project Manager" roles. With no direct reports, these positions are about communication rather than people management. Every male project manager I've met has a deep technical background. The majority of women in those positions do not have the same background, indicating overpromotion, or discrimination in *favor* of women.

  • @solomonkane23 According to the US Dept. of Labor, women make less primarily because they are working in part-time jobs working shorter work weeks and thus received lower pay. We should be surprised if part-time workers earn more than full-time workers.

  • Women are flocking to fields of study such as Psychology (increase over 20 years : 4x) but continue to be a minority in Computer Science (20%) and other technical fields of study. With full access to any field of study, women avoid those that lead to higher pay.

    Well, not really. Females are not required to register their names on the selective service. Thus they have the rights of a citizen, but not the obligation to defend the country. They can do if they want to, but, contrary to men, they are not required to do so.

  • This is ridiculous - women make money when they are pregnant. I worked till a day before going into labor like pretty much everybody else in US. This is in replay to the solomankane. I wold be fine working part-time and making less money but we can`t afford that.

  • feminism is a nwo plan to allow globalists to get twice as much labor for the same amount of money and have twice as much income tax. MS MAGIZINE was funded by the CIA. helen gurly brown death bed confession.

  • Feminist have not done allot for womanhood and nothing to better Manhood, They complain and complain about men being nothing but oppressors, Men are the product women,If You want men that will be faithful and loyal partners who will honor their women and contribute to society, give them remodels and mentors, Stop treating men like the enemy and making sweeping generalizations !

  • Feminism served a purpose in elevating women into being full citizens and and not chattel and added more "brains" and "creativity" to the work force, Feminists don't seem to clue in that biological speaking having two sexes given two separate biological assignments is what has ensured human survival and allowed our societies to thrive, .A society that is sterile and childless and without good family structure,Will rot and decay and the "old repressive patriarchy" will just crawl back in.
