I was thinking about posting this on Facebook. Then I thought about the stream of irrational hatred that would immediately follow. I suspect the worst of it would come from the teachers I know. Its like something about having 3 months off every year makes them particularly cranky. I stopped thinking about posting this on Facebook.

Great video. I always thought the gender gap for wages was a myth. I have never gotten paid less than a man for the same position. I would think if its a salaried position, the only times a woman would get paid less than a man would be if her negotiating skills weren't as good.

A chick I went to school with is a HARDCORE feminist... she's not completely unreasonable (her positions are at least well-researched), but this may send her into orbit. We'll see.

Not that their negotiating skills are any worse, but that they tend not to negotiate as much... if at all. Almost every guy I've hired or promoted attempted to negotiate and the complete opposite was true for the women I've hired.

saw something recently about more and more male nurses, and on avg. make $9-10k more then fems.

i agree w/ pyscho, i think women aren't as aggresive concerning pay.

Census data suggests that the difference in earnings is partly due to more men working full-time than woman. When looking at full-time, year-round workers, the salary gap narrows, but full-time female nurses still make an average of 9 percent less than male nurses.

So based on the video, tenure and FT\PT status can help explain wage gaps noted above.

side note: Based on conversations I've had with nurses\hospital workers\adminstrative staff, hospitals around here are some of the most fucked up places to work.

in what way?

[pauldun170]

in what way?

Racism (in more ways than one), classism, sexism (both ways), practices that would make a labor lawyer's head spin...poorly run over all.

I told one friend he should write a book about what he sees.

See TommyMac! :lol:

most of my nurses have nothing to bitch about becasue they dont do any work :lol:

Lot of politics and other bullshit to contend with, and thats not even the patients.

Not sure if there is a demand for male nurses but in another female dominated industry, elementary education, there is a demand to get more men to teach and I could see schools being willing to pay a male teacher more.

Really? Where? Our wages are negotiated with the union, so everyone gets paid the same based on years of experience.

I've heard similar from my sister-in-law who is a PA right in your back yard.

See post #7

So a grad nurse who's top of the class gets paid the same as bottom of the class, sounds like union alright.
