20 Worst Paying Jobs for Women<br>
<br>
Women in the United States earn around 20% less than men. Even when
controlling for observable factors such as experience, education
level, age and job title, the gender pay gap stubbornly remains.<br>
<br>
This is the conclusion of a report just released by job review
company Glassdoor. According to the study, women of the same age,
with the same education and years of experience, still earn barely
over four-fifths of what their male peers earn. When controlling for
industry, year, company and occupation, the gap shrinks to 5.4%.<br>
<br>
According to Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at Glassdoor,
people have “a common misperception that if you compare apples to
apples you see no pay gap, and that’s just not true.”<br>

At the top of the list of examples of worse-paying jobs is a
front-line position on Wall Street.<br>
<br>
<font size="+1">1. Securities, commodities, and financial services
sales agents<br>
> Women’s earnings as pct. of men’s: 52.5%<br>
> Women median weekly earnings: $767<br>
> Men median weekly earnings: $1,461<br>
> Number of workers: 211,000<br>
<br>
Women employed as securities, commodities and financial sales
agents earn about half of what their male counterparts earn.
People in the occupation facilitate deals between buyers and
sellers in financial markets. They also offer trading advice to
companies and individual investors. As is common in the financial
sector, financial services sales agents are paid extremely well,
regardless of gender. The median weekly earnings among workers in
the profession is $1,155, higher than the vast majority of
occupations reviewed — but women earn $767 a week, while men earn
$1,461 a week.<br>

<big>A comment apart from the 24/7 Wall St. publication:<br>
<br>
After she has taken millions dollars in campaign contributions
from Wall Street firms, it is disappointing to note that Hillary
Clinton's effect on Wall Street has been to exacerbate their greed
and to further enable their anti-social and unjust behaviors, even
against their own female employees. The reasonable conclusion
appears to be that H. R. Clinton and Wall Street are birds of a
feather in their relationships with one another, flocking for all
they can retain for themselves. Public justice and welfare, on the
other hand, may be as damned as they choose to be.<br>
