Title: 23% less income Post by: Soap Star on November 02, 2007, 01:25:42 PM So true, so frustrating.
******************************************************** Excerpts from this abc news story: http://www.yahoo.com/s/725054 On average, women still make just 77 cents on the dollar compared to men. Two actors -- one male, one female -- played job applicants with identical resumes, going for the same job. Volunteers watched their interviews -- scripted so as to be exactly the same -- during which both ask for more money. The results: The volunteers were 30 percent less likely to hire the woman than the man. The reason: She's too demanding and pushy, even though she said exactly the same things as her male counterpart.

I've held the same position as males with less education then myself and have found out they made more.
