You're Wrong About the Wage Gap

Only if you actually believe that women only get 82 cents for doing the same job as a man who get a dollar for it.

"Pay Gap" Myth Ignores Women’s Intentional Job Choices

The pay gap is the perfect example of statistics gone awry.

For starters, the data cited in the gender pay gap looks only at the median earnings of full-time wage and salaried workers. It doesn’t differentiate really important factors, such as education, occupation, experience, and hours, which account for nearly all of the differential in earnings between men and women.

It turns out that accounting for all these factors eliminates all but an estimated 3 to 5 cents of the gender pay gap.

Data is also subject to human error. Comparisons between survey data and administrative records reveal substantially underreporting of income within some of the most widely used survey data.

Consequently, the data disregards substantial changes, such as large gains in women’s retirement incomes.

And finally, data isn’t the supreme indicator, because not everything comes with a price tag or pay stub. What is the value of a flexible work schedule; a job with huge upward-mobility potential; particular benefits packages; the ability to tap into flexible, sharing-economy labor platforms, such as Uber and Airbnb; or to access new business platforms, such as Etsy for additional income?

Workers who seek these job characteristics often do so despite lower pay. But those intentional choices don’t show up in the statistics.

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy

Factual Reporting: MIXED

Why does old Bag O'Dung, and his half-wit clone Brayin', rely on souces that publish lies and half truths?

Because Blurt and Blare don't post here anymore.

All those guys saw Jerry while they were on acid.

Jeff "the ref" would've worn out his whistle.

lol

But did they see Jerry when he was on acid?

Harvard economist Claudia Goldin has done some really interesting research on the gender pay gap.

The long & short of her findings largely support the idea that the pay gap is a myth that doesn't account for important factors like career choices and hours worked.

https://www.workflexibility.org/gender-pay-gap-interview-economist-claud...

It seems that it would be fairly easy to design a study that would only compare men and women;s pay at the same job, where hours were the same.

Yeah, I thought the whole wage gap jive was about women making less on average for doing the same job(s), no?

or am I being lied to by the liberal media and universities again as I keep hearing?

"Conservative" white males always seem to be the ones crying there's no inequalities in our country Ie: gender pay gap, educational opportunities, civil rights etc...

Housing

Or crying that they are the ones who are being discriminated against.

This study melted a lot of faces. In Scandinavian countries with the most gender equality, sex differences in career choices actually become more stark, not less. 

You should probably skip this one, TOD. I think it might upset you.

It is but even when they skew the numbers as much as they can and make false comparisons there is still a wage gap per Thomas article “It turns out that accounting for all these factors eliminates all but an estimated 3 to 5 cents of the gender pay gap.”

Another fine showing from our resident research librarian.

as a librarian, thom is supposed to be highly trained and aware of implicit bias in research and news articles.

are you really a librarian or are you a cataloger or something?

Thanks Mark.

Did you forget to take your "Red Pill" this mornin'?

Putz.

I take Garden of Life men's daily multivitamins, TOD. Highly recommended.

If you need any fitness or general health advice, I'm here to help.

Appreciate it Mark.

My comment to you was just tit for tat.

You: a jab

Me: a right cross

Sorry that you're spittin' chicklets now, but you should be used to it.

All in good fun!

Now tell us more about the colonization of modern day women.

Truly fascinating stuff.

I'm glad you can pretend to win imaginary fistfights on the internet, TOD.

You've done this before and zoners made quite a bit of fun out of you for it, remember?

"Dr. Sinatra Healthy" Can't go wrong with a brand like that!

Colonize women? 

Mark it's as ridiculous as 99% of the shit that runs out of your mouth.

The irony.

Don't ask too many questions, Hillman.

TOD gets angry when facts don't support his worldview; then, he throws imaginary internet punches(!!!)

thanx for that labdoor link mark. just spent 2 weeks in the hospital & now need to take better care of myself. timely info!

i can't say anything on here without some guys' vaginas start bleedin'. it's amazing

>>> Colonize women? 

Colonization may be used as a method of absorbing and assimilating people into the culture of the imperial country, and thus destroying any remnant of the cultures that might threaten the imperial territory over the long term by inspiring reform.

Basically, women voting against their own better interest.

You know putting a misogynistic sexual abuser in the Whitehouse for one example.

Hillman, I know I just triggered you with that with that. Clinton blah, blah, blah.

But were trying to move past that, you know because they're not in office and we got one right now as the Commander in Chief.

Republican women's ultimate affirmation of the Patriarchy.

They continue to uphold White male power and privilege against their own better interest.

Ahem... Kavanaugh.

i don't trigger i just never heard that phrase before. lots of new catch phrases now for people to get all worked up over. amazing.

Take care and be well, Hillman.

>>>>thanx for that labdoor link mark. just spent 2 weeks in the hospital & now need to take better care of myself. timely info

Glad to share it, Hillman. Labdoor is my go-to site for independent supplement analysis. Unfortunately, there's a lot of trash on the market today; it's nice to get the data and make informed decisions.

I'm not sure if TOD was able to process my vitamin recommendation while he was pretending to win imaginary boxing matches and repeating his programming about muh patriarchy (the economist I cited is actually a prominent feminist, but whateves), but those Garden of Life men's daily are the best multi I've ever taken. Spendy @ $55 on Amazon, but you kinda get what you pay for in the supplement world, in my experience.

Wishing you good health, man.

Mark,

Incased you missed it? I'll say it again.

Appreciate man.

Hillman - "vaginas start bleedin'"

Id like to think you're better than that.

-smh

I'm here for you, TOD.

I think it's going to take more than a powerful multivitamin to correct the terrifying cognitive dissonance you're suffering from, but diet and exercise are important.

>>> I think it's going to take more than a powerful multivitamin to correct the terrifying cognitive dissonance you're suffering from.

Yo, it's a Grateful Dead thing, you wouldn't understand.

Check out this list:

Screeching irrationality when faced with empirical data? Check.

Fake internet punches? Check.

Flaccid deader than thou-ery? Check.

...Your melt, priceless!

If the FBI profiler zoners to determine who was most likely to commit a mass shooting Hillman would win followed closely by TOD.

You actually think I would do something like that young buck?

Because that shit ain't funny.

Either you get it or don't.

he craves attention tod, thats all

Look Timmy Hoover...

I pretty much disagree with Hillman on everything he says.

That being said, I would never joking or not joking ever say what you did.

>>> If the FBI profiler zoners to determine who was most likely to commit a mass shooting Hillman would win followed closely by TOD <<<

You know damn well this gets picked up by Google.

Damn dude. 

You know America is experiencing epidemic gun violence.

That's some fucked up bullshit!

T.O.D. posts like a late middle aged dude going through an identity crisis.

PBJ with the crust cut off and a nice bowl of chicken noodle soup. yumm.

oops wrong thread

Who cuts off the crusts for you, Fo6?

How is everything with you?

>>>>>>You actually think I would do something like that young buck

I didn’t say that.  Just that you and Hillman fit the profile better than any other registered zoners.  Also, watch the “buck” stuff.  Gravy is a little sensitive about stuff like that.
