Women's salaries plateau at age 39 while men get raises for a decade more


4 June 2012

The gender pay gap is real and more unequal then ever according to new statistics.

PayScale.com, an online compensation data company, polled 1.6million people to find that women make less than men from their first jobs and continue to pull in lower salaries until they retire.

Adding insult to injury, the margin between male and female workers only grows the more experience they have, until women make nearly $30,000 less than their counterparts.

Unfair: The gender pay gap is real and more unequal then ever

The company created an elaborate 'apples-to-apples' comparison model of what men and women make, matching years of experience, location, education level and several other factors.

Women make a median yearly salary of $31,900 at age 22, compared to $40,800 for men; and by their early 50s, women pull in just $60,000 compared to the $95,000 men make.

'Male pay is higher, and grows higher and grows faster than female pay over time,' said Katie Bardaro, lead economist for PayScale, to MSNBC.

They also analyzed the most common career choices for each gender.

Ms Bardaro said that women more often choose lower-paying jobs, like nursing or human resources, while men opt for flashier finance and engineering positions.

Prohibition of Usury in Various Religions Hinduism The earliest such record derives from the   Vedic   texts of Ancient India (2,000-1,400 BC) in which the "usurer" ( kusidin ) is mentioned several times and interpreted as any lender at interest.  More frequent and detailed references to interest payment are to be found in the later   Sutra   texts (700-100 BC), as well as the Buddhist   Jatakas   (600-400 BC).  It is during this latter period that the first sentiments of contempt for usury are expressed.  For example, Vasishtha, a well known Hindu law-maker of that time, made a special law which forbade the higher castes of   Brahmanas   (priests) and   Kshatriyas   (warriors) from being usurers or lenders at interest.  Also, in the   J...
