Comparable Worth Questions

 
The concept of comparable worth states that people in similar jobs that require similar levels of education, training or skills should receive equal pay regardless off race, gender, religion, etc.  However, although the gap between salaries of men and women has closed in recent years, the salary levels are anything, but even.  In 1980, a woman who held a position that required the same level of expertise, education and training made $.40 per dollar less then a man in the same position. 
For instance, let’s say we have two Vice Presidents at a Mutual Funds Company.  Each has similar levels of education, training and experience, however one is male and one is female.  In this instance, the male was receiving a salary of $500,000 while the female was only receiving a salary of $300,000.  The current ration is 1:80, meaning that for every $1 a man makes, a woman makes $.80.
The discrepancies are not only related to men and women either.  They also occur in specific professions.  For example, professional sports coaches usually require the same levels of education, training and expertise to coach a professional team.  However, it’s widely reported that coaches in one sport make higher salaries then coaches in another sport, for instance, professional football versus professional hockey.
