Re: Girls and women - pay inequity talk!
I work for a very large international corporation. I used to work in the Human Resources Department's IT section, therefore I had full access to all employee data. When I was bored, I used to write/generate reports just to compare wages and see what gender is getting paid more, what race is getting paid more, what region is getting paid for the same job. Well, men get paid more for the same job and men were hired for higher positions such as manager, regional manager, executives etc.
And I believe stereotyping still exists and that's why women are getting paid less in most case. However, there were a very few instances where women were getting paid more for the same job, but not too many. I am with the same company but I've switched departments now.
