Wally isn't appreciated for his math skills.

The Woman says, 'This article says men are paid twenty-five percent more than women. How do you explain that?' Wally says, 'Actually, it says women make seventy-five cents for every dollar that men make. That's thirty-three percent more. I suppose there's almost no chance you'll praise me for my math skills right now.'

Woman-----75 cents

Engineer-----1 dollar

Unappreciated math--Priceless

Two things to add. 1. Men don't have maternity leave, and 2. This avg doesn't take into effect that most of these pay differences are infact different jobs.

@d3p43ss3d I think it depends how you look at it. Grain foods are the most important part of one's diet (fruits and vegetables come second), but they're not the only part. Even if the mom really is more important than the dad (which could be subjective), she can't replace the dad.

@OneWeirdDude

Actually not, the importance of having a parent of each gender (for different reasons per gender and age of child etc) is pretty much equal, the child will always be lacking a certain something if only raised by one parent, having a mother and father is important for perspective purposes anyway.

It depends on the job whether men or women are better at it.

If the job is something that requires some form of skill or intelligence then obviously it's a man job. But when it requires tits and and a body that gives avarage men a boner, then we have a situation where a woman will be better.

the magazine is called " Estro "

lol

[DoomsdayR3sistance]

it is not one that looks into comparisons based on specific jobs when Alice points out that the problem is that it specifically references "average women".

[DoomsdayR3sistance]

@Gilthans Of course if you're doing performance driven pay rises then if somebody is gone for 9 months there is in fact little performance to justify a good pay rise. There is little or even no pay differences between men and women of identical circumstances.

No it does not take into account men/women doing the exact same job, it is a more generic average salary thing for full time workers. Of course there have been many studies and Dilbert doesn't cite which it uses but it does infer (cont)

@Gilthans

I disagree the pay difference is down to genuine differences in priorities between men and women. There is no logical reason men would be favoured and market economics means there is plenty of reasons not to.

[Gilthans]

@dragonboyjgh Actually, it takes into account men/women doing the exact same job. Also, maternity leave is just an excuse for bosses to favor men over women in application.

I'm a guy too. Don't delude yourself to think there's equality in this matter...

[thatguy126]

@HaylinMusa lets say 75 is 100%.....75/3 =25....25 equals a third....so its a third or 33% more than 75

[HaylinMusa]

Why is it 33%? o.o
