Something we're unlikely to see reported by the MSM. Choices, not gender determine earnings. Not to worry lefties, now that we have 58 different genders we'll need more studies. https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/12/harvard-study-confirms-the-gender-wage-gap-is-just-a-myth/
Well one study about bus workers is pretty definitive for the entire country I guess. Bravo Harvard! I found a study on nurses that shows the opposite: https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/male-nurses-still-make-6000-plus-more-women-new-survey-shows See I just refuted a harvard study in 5 minutes of google search. Proves Harvard is just a name and those who go there can be just as stupid as someone at any other college . This is not a liberal or conservative issue, this is simple research and I hate seeing supposed Ivy Leaguers do it so shittily... I think a 6th grader could have found a contra example in 2 seconds.
I know you will want to turn this into a political argument but the study and conclusion is as full of shit as a wet diaper. I expect more intelligent analysis from a harvard study but making a generalized claim studying one group of workers in a low paying job is pretty embarrasing for a university level. i would expect more if I was doing research into a topic.
If women make less across the board, then why wouldn't corporate America simply hire all women since they're paid less? They could save themselves a whole lot of labor cost. Taken from the heathcare study for nurses. "Traditionally, men have gravitated toward acute care, high-paid specialties and to management/administration, which are all higher paying," he said. Isn't that verifying the choice conclusion that the Harvard study came to?
Yes ... the evil patriarchy. Sigh. Anyone who says women make less because men keep them down...is stupid as fuck and hasn’t done the research.
From the study...LOL ...that people working fewer hours, on average, can be expected to earn lower incomes, on average.
The research paper is actually not bad. The cons are twisting it’s conclusion. By using normalized wage data they show that women make choices that reduce their ability to earn. I bet most of it has to do with domestic duties and family issues. It doesn’t prove the thesis put out by the OP. In the paper they explicitly say that other studies have shown the pay gap is explained by different wage rates and their data was able to take that factor out. Further they mention that their findings show that 60percent of the wage differential between women and men can be roughly explained by women choosing different hours. Meaning 40percent is because of “fairness.” The papers real conclusion is that women need different work schedules than men - for example women are more likely to take fmla and men are more likely to take overtime. Your article showed that despite normalizing for that, men were making more in a non-unionized environment. Taking both papers the obvious conclusion is that we need more unions (though I am anti-union).
Yes you are corect my point should have been focused on how the conclusion of the research was used to make an incorrect generalization that was easily disproven by several other studies. I am not sure if Harvard is behind the conclusions or simply the research itself but the premise of the research seemed biased to come to the twisted conclusion IMHO.
