En nog een nieuwtje from the other side of the Atlantic:
Young women narrow wage gap, says report.
Working women between the ages of 25 and 34 are narrowing the wage gap with men, according to the Monthly Labor Review, a publication of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. A recent Labor Review report by economists Marisa DiNatale and Stephanie Boraas found that young women today are better educated, work longer hours, and are more likely to have higher-paying management, administrative, or executive jobs than their female counterparts had in 1975.
When the authors examined wages, they found that young working women in 2000 earned 82 cents to every dollar earned by men, up from just 68 cents in 1979. In addition, married women with children were far more likely to be in the work force in 2000 than they were in 1975.
The study, based on 2000 data � the most recent information on working women's wages � found that 30 percent of all young women had completed four or more years of college compared with only 18 percent in 1975. At the same time, the study said, the share of men with that level of education increased by only 3 percentage points during the same time period, to 29 percent.
