For women, a day's work doesn't mean the same pay By SHARON LINDSTEDT
Because the census data is derived by comparing 'all wages of all women' against 'all wages of all men,' it doesn't break out the many situations where women make as much, or even more than their male counterparts.
For instance, union contracts generally dictate pay by job title, resulting in equal paychecks for women and men. And there certainly are more a than a few examples of women commanding bigger bucks than their male colleagues.
But, the fact remains that while women now comprise nearly half (46 percent) of the U.S. work force, they still bring up the short end of the pay scale. In Erie County, median pay for women working full-time is $26,510, while median pay for men is $38,703, according to a report, 'Facts About Women in Erie County,' that the women's commission will release next month.------------------------------------------- posted 6:45 AM :: reference link ::
