More Evidence Of The Gender Wage Gap

money
McCain's comments recently that women who are not getting equal pay just need "education and training" enraged women at the time. His dismissive statement that it was women themselves causing the pay differences by not being educated or trained enough ignored the fact that many women are educated and trained equally as their male counterparts and still receiving less pay. Now a recent study has came out showing exactly that, that women are more likely to be underpaid than their males peers graduating from college along side them.


The study was led by Professor Charles Wilf of Duquesne University, used a national survey of more than 750 graduating college seniors to compile his data.

The Duquesne survey indicates that 51 percent of women and only 35 percent of men polled expect to earn under $30,000 in their first year after college. 12 percent of women and 24 percent of men expect to earn more than $50,000. The gender gap among business students it is not as wide, with 56 percent of women and 67 percent of men majoring in business expecting to earn more than $50,000 in three years.

The findings should come as no surprise however. The wage gap in America between men and women has been well documented. Typically women earn only 80 cents to every man's dollar after college. As the years go by the gap widens even more so that a mere ten years later women are only earning 69 cents to that same dollar. It is not education or training that is causing this, Senator McCain.
