I'm An Open Book If You Care To Read Me

I keep hearing that women are only paid 75c for every $1 a man earns, what are some companies which have been found guilty of this? Have they been charged?

This is a really complicated topic. The first thing to consider is that these are rates based off of averages, the next thing to consider is that most women pursue careers that pay less(child care, nursing, so on).

To really understand the pay gap you have to compare career to career, and experience with experience. There is indeed a bit of a gap for some career fields, but the issue is not as bad as people make it seem.

I think within our lifetime this gap statistic will disappear, it already is starting to.

I believe that it is to do with a primitive use of mathematics. I am doubtful that many (if any) companies actually pay women less for the same job. I might be wrong but that is what I think.
