Similar qualifications should result in similar hiring salaries. If everything is truly equal then they should be identical.
Once hired, (smart) companies pay and promote based on how employees PERFORM their jobs, not their "qualifications" which is how they GOT their jobs. Ideally this is via some 'objective' criteria. Over careers, pay differences may evolve between those with similar education and experience based on contribution and value to the business. If fairly administered, this is as it should be, no? (of course everyone know of situations where it isn't, I am talking about policy and typical practice).
IF is a big word. FAIRLY (in this case) is a process. The way it should be isn't necessarily the way it is, which makes it unfair.
So if a black person is paid less for doing the same job as a white person----that's OK with you . ? It's up to the black person to go hunt for a new job?
"Close" isn't good enough, sorry. Do you not feel women should earn what men do in the same position? I demand equal pay as well as a shot to further my career- based on merit, obviously. How is 'close ' even slightly acceptable to some people?
My opinion is anyone should get equal pay for equal qualifications, experience and most importantly production.
He's an ignorant, sexist pig who thinks only women should cook and care for children.
Which is exactly why as Governor of Massachusetts he made a special effort to recruit women, hired one as his chief of staff, and had more women in senior leadership positions than any other state!
When all things are equal a woman's salary is very close to men, the issue with the 72% figure often cited by the media and used in the debate question is that is based on everyone without consideration for experience, career choice etc.
We'll considering almost half the kids in the U.S live in single parent homes, with "mom" as the sole provider, what he said is true. I would think a single mom needs to get home from work to cook and care for her children......I certainly hope she does not let her children starve!
But no men working are parents?
THEY don't need a flexible schedule to be a PARENT????
Yes, there are single women , and MARRIED women, who get dumped with the most parenting....but if male parents stepped up and took PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY women wouldn't be targeted by slimeballs like Romney.
One very good solution for both parents is to have wages that allow them to work 40 hours a week.....with jobs going to China to make the wealthy wealthier parents are forced to work longer hours....

Women earn more than men in the same position in many cases. You're probably OK with that.
Go ahead and DEMAND equal pay. Are you going to DEMAND equal pay to other women's salaries too?
Some women earn more than other women in the same position.
Many women earn less than men because they don't work as many hours as men over the course of a year.
