At the 10th percentile, women are paid 92 cents on the male dollar, whereas women at the 95th percentile are paid 74 cents relative to the dollar of their male counterparts’ hourly wages."]]> 2017-04-10 12:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165654021 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165656179 "Relative to white non-Hispanic men, black and Hispanic women workers are paid only 65 cents and 58 cents on the dollar, respectively, compared with 81 cents for white, non-Hispanic women workers and 90 cents for Asian women." ]]> 2017-04-10 12:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165656179 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165656246 "Can women close the wage gap by getting more education? It appears not. Women are paid less than similarly educated men at every level of education. And the wage gap tends to rise with education level."]]> 2017-04-10 12:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165656246 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165791091 Many times people offer that the wage gap is caused by women choosing different jobs and receiving a lower education. This, however, is not true because in many situations, women working in a male dominated job with the same level of education receive a lower wage than the men do.]]> 2017-04-11 00:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165791091 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165791288 "After giving birth, women’s pay lags behind pay of similarly educated and experienced men and of women without children. There is no corresponding 'fatherhood penalty' for men."]]> 2017-04-11 00:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165791288 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165866220 The societal norm that requires women to take care of children instead of men builds onto the pay gap. This factor has less to do with the discrimination against women from employers and more to do with discrimination from society. Society expects women to sacrifice their work instead of allowing men to do so.]]> 2017-04-11 12:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165866220 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165867863 "The gender pay gap in cash wages would not disappear by factoring in other employee benefits because women are less likely than men to have employer-provided health insurance and have fewer retirement resources than men."]]> 2017-04-11 13:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/165867863 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/166063010 " Again, using the Current Population Survey data from the CPS Outgoing Rotation Group, but making these adjustments, we find that the wage gap grows, with women on average paid 21.7 percent less than men. The adjusted penalty for the average woman is 17.9 percent. The measured penalty actually increases when accounting for these influences because women workers, on average, have higher levels of education than men." ]]> 2017-04-12 13:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/166063010 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/166063453 The wage gap shrinks when factors such as uneven education, occupation, work industry and working hours are put in, but it is still there. The pay gap goes from the adjusted penalty of 17.9% to a slightly smaller penalty of 13.5% when these factors are put in to the equation. ]]> 2017-04-12 13:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/knn271jogrnd/wish/166063453
