Why?

Why is there still a gender gap when it comes to earnings? We are no longer expected to be nurses, teachers and social workers but are now accountants, doctors, lawyers – and financial planners. We now hold close to 50% of the available jobs, but according to a report from the States, during the last recession 78% of the jobs lost were held by men.

Why? Because women are cheap; we earn around 77-80 cents to every dollar earned by men. Women returning to work or wanting to work part time are particularly cheap. Additionally women are still in feminine occupational ghettos.

It’s not good news when women retain positions simply because they are cheaper than men.
