It took a governmental investigative panel to find out what some people here have said already. There is no glass ceiling, unless you place it there.

Women's income is lower on average than that of men in part because they generally work less, leave the labor force for longer periods and tend to hold jobs that pay less, a congressional study found.

But even after adjustments are made for those factors, women still earned an average of 20.3 percent less than men in 2000, investigators said yesterday.

The study could not provide reasons for the earnings difference, but it noted that experts have speculated that it could be due to discrimination or the decision by some women to forgo career advancement for family-friendly jobs that offer more flexibility and less stress.

No. I also read a story, some time back, that, when comparing apples to apples, women are actually earning more than their male counterparts but I haven't been able ro re-find it. It was before I became a professional pain in the ass.

so even without the extra factors such as time there is a difference



The 20 percent gap has been relatively unchanged in the past two decades: The difference was 19.6 percent in 1983.

Not really sure where I stand on this.

Part of me says this kind of study makes our society further entrenched in the belief that such things do exist, and that by being aware of it simply makes any pay difference blown out of proportion.

Another part of me agrees that the glass ceiling exists and should not, despite the obvious work experience differences.

Its a slippery slope either way you go....
