I can't ride with the concept of the wage gap...
I have to ask what positions that statistic (77 cents to a dollar) is taking into account.
In regards to all of the positions that are out there, there are jobs out there that require crazier schedules, hard physical labor, more dangerous work, and a risk of serious injury or death. Most of these positions are taken by men.
Not saying that women CAN'T do them
Generally speaking, people working more dangerous jobs like this SHOULD be paid more regardless of gender, in order to compensate for the risk involved. Otherwise, nobody would want to do it.
The second thing I have to ask is that if women are inherently making less (77 cents to a dollar), then why would employers bother to hire men at all when they could save all that money by only hiring women?![]()
how about th ework women do for the most part arent dangerous
if its a dangerous job you will get paid accordingly. Women get those white collar receptionist, office admin, admin assistant , office managers jobs, of course they will get paid less than a garbage man picking up 15 pounds of garbage, or a miner etc.
when women are in a dangerous occupation say a escort, prostitute, stripper they get paid generously for their work
