Understanding the Gender Wage Gap - E-book - ePub

Politicians and the media like to tell anyone who will listen that the workplace purposely discriminates against women workers. We are told that female workers earn 79 cents to every dollar that a man earns for doing the exact same work. But is this true? Do companies intentionally pay women less than men for the same job? To find out you need to know what the numbers used to determine the gap represent, and what they don't disclose.
This eBook sheds some light on this subject providing you with relevant information and thoughts intended to help you form your own reasoned conclusion about wage distribution in the United States.
