Women Making More Money
One in four married women who work are making more money than their husbands. Full-time working women as a whole are making 80% of what men make.
Before you get your panties in a wad over this injustice, consider this:
Economists and academics attribute the remaining 20 percent pay gap to men’s leg up on seniority, having been in the work world longer than women.Studies also have shown that men work more overtime — raising their reported weekly incomes — and tend to choose occupations, such as engineer and pilot, that pay more than jobs that women traditionally have preferred, such as social worker and teacher.
Equality has been achieved. Let’s move on.
