truth on hold Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 A bombshell new survey claims the New York Times is paying its minority employees 10 percent less than company average while women earn 7 percent less than what men are paid. The survey, conducted by the NewsGuild of New York, the union that represents about 1,100 employees at the Gray Lady, found that minorities are vastly overrepresented in the lowest paid jobs at the NYT. The highest-paid jobs are dominated by men, the survey found. In addition, women and people of color are more likely to hold low-paying jobs and are much less prevalent in high-paying positions, the report, based on October pay data, revealed. http://nypost.com/2016/05/12/minority-employees-women-paid-less-at-new-york-times-survey/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I suppose our racist and sexist society prevented woman and minorities from getting the education and experience they need to compete with white men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they shouldn't have been hired in the first place? Since hiring isn't based on merit anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Remember when the biggest criticism of Bush years was that the administration ignored science to push pet projects and it would be refreshing for an administration to embrace science and enact laws based on scientific fact? Yeah, that was great. We're still waiting Anyone who's ever had a job, knew this to be the case in explaining male/female wage disparity. Prof. Goldin found in a 2010 paper that men and women earned almost the same salaries right after receiving University of Chicago M.B.A.s. At least a decade after graduating, the women earned 57% of their male classmates. The main factor, she and her co-authors concluded: Women became mothers, interrupted their careers and eschewed lengthy hours that generated higher paychecks. “These particular occupations,” Prof. Goldin says, “are not very forgiving of taking time off and having kids.” In elite tiers of business, employees aren’t seen as interchangeable and therefore earn premiums for working longer hours. “You work more hours, you work crazy hours, and you get not crazy-amount more—you get crazy-amount-squared more,” Prof. Goldin said in one lecture on the topic.

IDBillzFan Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Anyone who's ever had a job, knew this to be the case in explaining male/female wage disparity. Most people understand that some occupations are not very forgiving of taking off time to have kids, but now we have to factor in the women who think they deserve that same time off from work without having kids, and calling it "Me-ternity leave."

DC Tom Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 It's actually more of a sign of the times that I'm, actually, not kidding. But on the bright side, the administration's new interpretation of gender means we ALL get to take me-ternity leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She even tries to explain why only women should be allowed to take "me-ternity" because men don't need a balanced work/social life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
