ARE WOMEN PAID LESS THAN MEN?



The answer is yes, women are paid less then men. While average salary for males in executive management grew from $99,327 in 2003 to $ 109,042 in 2005, the average salary for females in this job category slipped from $75,129 in 2003 to $71,561 in 2005.
The thing is, women, in some people’s eyes, don’t do the same work as men. Women stay home having babies and knitting scarves while the men are out hunting bear and farming, so naturally they get paid less.

For example, in Kouba vs. Allstate the plaintiff said the minimum salary she earned as a rep was less than males typically got. Allstate admitted this but said minimum salaries were individually set so they’d be: (a) high enough to attract applicants, but (b) low enough that reps would want to make ` sales and earn commissions. The Supreme Court favored Allstate.

As unfair as this may be the government supports this by saying that we don’t do the same job as men we are more “delicate” and for that we don’t try hard enough.
