Hillary is attempting to run her campaign with one of her themes being "equal pay for women."

I have tried, but I cannot find an area, other than sports that pays women less than men for the same job. Is that what she is referring to? If she is attempting a claim that women don't get the same jobs, but want the same wages, then I believe she is barking up the wrong tree. She does bark you know. I have read where women only receive about 79 cents on a dollar that men make, but they don't suggest that the women have the same jobs.

Does a female doctor make less than a male doctor?
Does a female lawyer make less than a male lawyer?
Does a female Captain in the military make less than a male?

Maybe a female teacher makes less than a male teacher?

If the female does not have the same job, then I hardly see how she deserves the same pay. A male secretary does not make as much as female executive.
A male nurse does not make as much as a female doctor.

Articles suggest that there is a general difference in income, male versus female. I wonder who's fault that would be.

I believe that Hillary is pandering for the female vote with the only ammo available, wage inequity. Her party would be better off trying to work on minority unemployment figures. Since Obama, the black unemployment has risen, not lowered. She needs to concentrate on getting families off of food stamps. Since Obama, we have a record high of those on food stamps.

Bernie is pandering to the young by promising them something he can't give them, FREE college. And it seems to be working for him. If the deck wasn't so stacked against him by the DNC, then he would be more competition for Hillary. But, even though she is just barely beating him with the popular vote, she has bought enough Super Delegates to carry her to the nomination. It's a done deal. Bernie is just to make her look like she worked for it. Window dressing.

Have you had your head in the sand, equal pay for equal jobs, is not happening. I hope your wife or daughters or grand daughters are not effected by the discrepancy. You would be the first one hollering.

Still waiting for an example. ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

They hardly ever do an "equal" job. If the entire job involves sitting at a desk, they do equal jobs. Anything else, hardly equal.

So, other than sports, there is no validity to the statement that females do not get equal pay for equal positions. The whole idea that Hillary is attempting to exploit is noting more than a sham. That's like saying, high school graduates do not get paid equally with college grads. Or, the dog catcher doesn't get paid as much as a police officer. Hillary is a con artist.

Here's a Department of Labor Video that was made for children, I guess.

Well I will give you the short answer first. Predominately in divorces women always have the edge over men. In death women outlive men and thus here are a lot of rich widows out there.

I spent a good part of my career dealing with employee compensation and benefits. This entailed conferencing with employers from all industry in a community in order to understand prevailing market values for executive, professional managerial and clerical .

Performance evaluations, starting salaries, salary schedules, promotions retention of employees reducing turnover and more require equality.

The differences come in the career choices people make, balancing their work life vis a vis their personal life, their competitiveness, etc. For public/privates union shops its easier because it is all fixed by contract.

People will never learn. Politicians intentionally create controversy and division because it draws people to them (collectives) (herds). that's what presidential candidates do, that 's what race baiting leaders do that, that's what unions do, etc. Class distinctions, race distinctions, religious distinctions, equal pay, income redistributions, the 1% the 99%, the fat cats war on women............ These are the type of people that like nanny government

TOO MANY AMERICAN HAVE LOST OR NEVER ACHIEVED THEIR INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY.

Actually, the difference between the MEDIAN pay rate is more like 19% today. It is rare for two individuals of the opposite sex doing the same job for the same employer to have different pay scales, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still occur. Because men are not usually the primary caregivers, they can work longer hours and aren't forced to put their careers on hold as much as women. This is where the majority of the disparity comes from today and, being female and having a daughter, I'd like to see something worked out.

So, the way I see it, there is no disparity between male and female wages other than in sports. Women feel that they deserve breaks because they have to take off to have babies, even though that is their choice, not the employers. When I say breaks, I mean they feel that by having a baby, they believe that they should continue to get the same increases in pay and positioning as anyone that has not missed months off for having a baby. Other than that, what is the big deal? If females do not wish to take the high risk or high stress jobs of men, then why do they feel they deserve to get paid more than their employer is willing to pay them? After all, a nurse should not get paid as much as a doctor. A secretary should not expect to get paid as much as the executive. Male or female, the position and job dictates, not the gender. The government has been giving paternity leave for some time. If I was a female, I believe I would object to that. After all, who had to endure the long months of discomfort and the body stress of producing another life form? Not the male. But, that is just my opinion and has nothing to do with the subject.

So, all the screaming about equality is just a Hillary sham to get more female votes. That seems rather sexist, doesn't it?

Yes, and it is misleading. Only in socialism are you going to come up with something similar to equal pay for all jobs. And even then, certain categories get paid more than others.

The theme of the equal pay for women is suppose to be equal pay for equal jobs. There are hardly any jobs that don't pay the same for male versus female workers. Entertainment is probably the only sector that comes to mind.

Just because they take an average pay for the gender population, does not mean that all those women had the same job as men. They didn't. They chose to take lower paying jobs for differing reasons, whether it was more convenient for the family or because of their lack of skill set. The only disparity today is in the mind of those that wish to exploit the non-issue.

Thank-you for making it easier to understand.

Let's start with this:

Lilly Ledbetter vs Goodyear Tire and Rubber:

Every employer, for which I have worked, required me to never discuss my pay rate with another employee. This makes it quite difficult to find out if men are making more than women in the same level or band.
