Young Childless Women Earning More Than Male Peers

Huh.

An analysis of census data by consumer research firm Reach Advisors found that women between the ages of 22 and 30, without children, had bigger paychecks in 2008 than their male peers in 47 of the 50 largest U.S. cities. Their wages were 8 percent higher, on average, but varied considerably from one city to the next.

  1. Difficult to assess without the actual research paper.

  2. Sounds like discrimination to me.  Time to bring them down and raise the salaries of single dad’s and mom’s.

  3. I demand a movement, and representation to assure that I am receiving equal pay for equal work!

    Or, this is just logical.

    More young women go to college than young men. It is perfectly reasonable to expect that women in my age category would earn more than their male counterparts.

    But, it is still fun to scream and yell like a liberal, so I am going to start picketing my employer (me) for not paying me as much as he (me) would be paying a woman of similar skill!

  4. So parity wasn’t the goal after all?

    Hummmm! Seems like no matter what, men just aren’t going to get a fair shake in our new, progressive, Liberal utopia.

    Ah but what the hell, what have they done to expect any consideration?
