Married Men Paid More Than Single Men, Get More Interviews
Even when their credentials are identical, married men get more job interviews and higher salaries. That’s not a reward for productivity; it is discrimination.www.psychologytoday.com
This is 2021 so not too outdated either
Interesting
So does this study make the distinction that the Married Men got promoted into higher positions because he was married vs the Man was already in a higher position with a higher salary then decided to get married afterwards?
Very well
Yup

Yes.. That is one of the main things the study was out to prove. The other was if married men just get the job cause they married.. Neither is found to be true
They say it's a combination of 1. Married couples have more savings, therefore they don't have to jump at the first job 2. Married couples won't take the first job handed to them. Because they have two incomes, or one when the other is not working, it allows them a cushion to not have to leap at the first job offered and wait for those that pay out more
But there are a few things that are fact. 1. There is a married men wage gap that rises above single men and women and married women. 2. The other three demos don't out-earn each other (showing that married women don't magically make more money cause they had more money coming in) and 3. Married men get promoted and climb the ladder faster than the other 3.
The only thing up for debate is WHY...
And to homegirl, they did factor in education as well: Quantitatively, household search explains 10–33 percent and 20–58 percent of the premium for males and females, respectively, and accounts for its increase with spousal education.

This stuff usually comes up two ways…if you’re already working for a company they already know your behavior and work patterns. People know who has to leave by 4:15 everyday to pick up their kids because those people make it very clear that’s what they’re doing.
The second way is during interviews people talk about their family and children a lot to seem relatable. This works well for men, but not so much for women. It makes men look well rounded and women seem flaky. People always question whether women with kids will need to take a lot of time off, but seldomly do with men.

They have to pay for their children and wife. This isn't the flex you think it is

Times are changing but not only does performance indicate if you’re stable and consistent or not but I do believe that also being married will be seen positively and as an indicator for future success being an indicator of stability and reliability.
