Female Computer Programmers Make $0.72 For Every Dollar Made By Male: Study (siliconbeat.com)
An anonymous reader cites an article on The Mercury News' Silicon Beat tech blog: Female computer programmers make 72 cents for every dollar earned by male programmers. That difference is after researchers adjust for factors such as age, education, years of experience, job title, employer and location, according to a new study by Glassdoor (PDF), the jobs and recruiting marketplace, which looked at salary data of more than 500,000 people over 140 professions. The well-known U.S. wage gender gap is 76 cents for every dollar men earn. But women earn 94.6 cents for every man's dollar after adjusting for all factors other than gender. In other words, the wage gap in the U.S. is about 5.4 percent.
No wonder it was submitted by anonymous.
So they're overpaid?
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
And that's being generous.
sad news for you, women have a kind of "stealth penis" that develops from the same tissues as your dong during gestation. They can even discretely masturbate it with thigh movements while typing code, while you have to work one-handed!
It is a shame that these female programmers are not better and able to keep up with their male counterparts. I blame the educators who pushed them into programming in the first place.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
Programmers make $0.75 US dollar for every Canadian dollar they earn.
Women are more likely to get pregnant and leave the workforce for years at a time. I know it's shocking, but I looked at the data. Men just never seem to get pregnant - at least in the STEM fields.
