Is it right that woman get paid less than men on average for doing the same job?
Women don’t do the same job as men. The 250 pound guy on the top of a burning building doesn’t weigh any less because the rescuer is a woman. When you hire a man and woman to do the same job, there is a much greater chance that the woman will leave the job, either temporarily or permanently, to have children, raise a family, etc. If you factor in the cost of replacing lost workers and lost productivity, I bet the numbers even out. As for career women, when they are as ambitious and talented as the men they work with they often do better at their jobs. After all, a man can’t flirt his way into a business deal. A woman can flirt her way into anything if she is good enough.
My last 2 jobs were working with women, they got paid the same as i did, in fact one woman was paid more (for the same job) Guess what, they didn’t do half the stuff i did, they were always late, didn’t take the work too seriously. I put it down to pressures at home, they had kids and other things to think about, never the less, on average they were paid more than i was for less work and time.
