Are women really paid 2/3 of what men are paid for the same work?

I know for a fact that all Union Jobs pay exactly the same wage for the same job.

Minimum wage jobs, by definition, pay everyone the minimum wage.

Utilities like the gas and electric companies pay exactly the same for any job they have.

Our Military is famous for being the first to pay everyone equally.

I assume that teachers are paid equally because they are the most liberal group in America and they have a powerful Union.

The government must be paying everyone the same rate but perhaps others might disagree.

So where is all of this inequality in pay coming from?

No.

If women were willing and able to do the same work that a man can at 2/3 the price, then greedy capitalists would only hire women.
 


The left considers all those jobs socialism
 
Nope.


Many women are just piss poor negotiators.



Business, personal, scholastic, etc. many women just do not have the ovaries to demand what they are worth.
 

Where is the citation used to support the "2/3 wage for same work" position?

I know there is an assertion that women make less money than men as a general claim.

However, that has already been debunked by comparing the types of work, their relative difficulty, level of knowledge/training needed, hours worked including overtime, time off taken, and other metrics.

That the evidence shows women choose professions that are safer in general, less physically demanding in general, work fewer hours in general, and take more time off in general for various reasons.

I believe there are several other metrics. But whenever a woman does work the same job as a man, they get paid the same as a man for the same work output/effort. Caveat being when they work less hours or take more time off, which would be the prime difference.
