Paycheck FAIRNESS Act Blocked By Republicans! What's New!

[ScienceRocks]

Women make the same wage as a man if they are doing the same job. This democrat Act is a lie.

Incorrect.

The factors that contribute to wage inequality are complex and varied, not to be explained away by ignorant rightwing dogma, where women in fact are not paid the same for doing the same job:

According to your source, women and men are overwhelmingly NOT working the same jobs:

While a pay gap exists in nearly every occupational field, jobs traditionally associated with men tend to pay better than traditionally female jobs for the same level of skill required. And even in 2014, women and men still tend to work in different kinds of jobs. This segregation of occupations is a major factor behind the pay gap.19, 20

In 2012, the U.S. civilian workforce included slightly more than 140 million full- and part-time employed workers; 53 percent were men, and 47 percent were women.21 Nearly 40 percent of working women were employed in traditionally female occupations such as social work, nursing, and teaching. In contrast, fewer than 5 percent of men worked in these jobs. Forty-five percent of working men were in traditionally male occupations, such as computer programming, aerospace engineering, and firefighting, compared with just under 6 percent of women in those jobs.22 Women are more likely to work in professional, office and administrative support, sales, and service occupations, and men are more likely to work in construction, maintenance and repair, and production and transportation occupations.

Probably has some truth to it. Of course, I doubt the people that say they value science so much to think about it.

Women in “male” jobs such as computer programming still face a pay gap compared with their male counterparts, even though they may be paid higher salaries than women in traditionally female fields. It will take more than individual women pursuing careers in “male” fields to ensure fair pay for all.

You're full of shit Clayton. All this us about is winning the female vote by pushing a lie that republican bosses pay their female employees less. If you're in the same grade doing the same job, females make the same wage as men. That is closed science!

The GOP is going to be astounded even though it has worked at pissing off women voters the last six years.

"how did this happen?", asks the wuckfits in the GOP leadership

Yeah, when I go to the grocery store and listen to women talking, that's all they're talking about.

Jake, Jake, Jake

How cool is that?

The reality is women make up only 30% of scientist, doctors, engineers and computer scientist has far more to do with it. I slam the republicans all the time for being anti-science, but with this one the left is anti-reality.

the stats clearly say you are wrong

 

[JakeStarkey]

This issue of income disparity is very intricate and complicated.

The far left is wrong to say that all women are being abused by bosses.

The Republican far right is wrong to say that it is not an issue for which women should be concerned.

Women working in the White House under Obama make less than male co-workers....so much for the liberal bullshit.

False equivalency. Women doing the same job as a man gets the same pay.

You do have a point. I think it comes down to with the lack of education within the fields that pay good.

 

[1776]

Uh bullshit, the stats show only Valerie Jarrett is making equal pay, the rest are paid less than men.

Oh wait, you're claiming women have less important jobs in the White House....

What happens if the man has been doing the job for 25 years and does that jobs. Gets paid better because that is his typical payment. A few weeks later a woman gets hired and gets paid less for being a new hire for the same job.

If he has been doing for 25 years and has not advanced: fire him.

 

[ShaklesOfBigGov]

WTF is a paycheck fairness act?? Are you kidding?? ROFLMAO What's next?? Polluted uterus act for the ho's on the left?

Obviously it's not the ability to vote for your own raise like these politicians can, or watch our representatives put their kids through private school while denying parents of the middle class the ability to do the same through vouchers and choose the best education for THEIR kids. Fairness, in that sense, means allowing the government to decide for themselves what's best for you.

Democrats can't survive without imaginary victims.

 

[Ibentoken]

Either we as a GOP treat our people right, or we will continue to sink as a minority party

Inevitable

What's with this "we" stuff Jake? I've never seen any point where you come down right of center. On most you're as far left as anyone.

Meatbud1, honey, you are not a judge of anything.

You are not smart enough to do so.

You think anybody to the left of Cantor or Boehner is a flying lib.

Which makes you a far right reactionary doosh hull down below the horizon with your eyes just visible.

I think you're mentally ill. No offense.

You'd piss off at lot of union people if they have to validate why they should be getting paid more for essentially [ "just getting by" ] doing the same work, over raises that are based strictly on performance.

Yeah, like stats from huffpo or media matters.
Jake, women really aren't as stupid as you think they are, bro.
You have fallen for the far left propaganda, don't do it, restrain yourself.
Come back where you started and belong, you know....being conservative.

Actually, Jake, you can't see the forest through the trees. Everybody sees it but you. Not everybody are far left loons, you're not right of center, your not conservative and you are truly "JaketheFake".

Having said that, we already have an equal pay bill that was passed in the 1960's, if a person has an issue then they should take the legal process to alleviate the problem.
This is just a political stunt by the democrats trying to get something to stick in an election cycle because Obama has screwed things up so much.
