Analysis: Men still make a lot more than women in Obama’s White House

This week, Maria Shiver presented President Barack Obama with the most recent report on the economic plight of women in America.


The report looks at women’s financial insecurity, poverty, and inequality, including the contested assertion that the median earnings of full-time female workers make 77 percent of the full-time male’s income, and offers public and private solutions to raising their economic status in America.


“As the president knows well, investing in and supporting women over their lifetimes is one of the best ways to tackle income inequality and achieve greater social mobility, and he looks forward to learning about the findings of the report,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said of the meeting Monday.


While Obama met with Shriver Tuesday and has advocated for women’s pay equity — the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was the first bill he signed into law as president — according to a Daily Caller analysis of the administration’s “2013 Annual Report to Congress on White House Staff,” the White House still paid women less than men in 2013.

Democrats war on women continues...
 
A study issued in 2009 funded by the us department of labour and released under the obama administration says as follows:

"Although additional research in this area is clearly needed, this study leads to the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action. Indeed, there may be nothing to correct. The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers. "

For reasoning related to:

"

  • A greater percentage of women than men tend to work part-time. Part-time work tends to pay less than full-time work.

  • A greater percentage of women than men tend to leave the labor force for child birth, child care and elder care. Some of the wage gap is explained by the percentage of women who were not in the labor force during previous years, the age of women, and the number of children in the home.

  • Women, especially working mothers, tend to value “family friendly” workplace policies more than men. Some of the wage gap is explained by industry and occupation, particularly, the percentage of women who work in the industry and occupation.

The wage gap in the context of "women make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes doing the same job" is an utter disproven myth. Women do make 77 cents on the dollar, but it's NOT from doing the same job for the same hours. it's for going into different jobs for different hours, often as a result of their own free will and choices.

I didn't need a study to tell you that. But now you are on the Darlaks list
