Women and Pay

From the Onetel news site today - and Michael Buerk was saying only a week ago that we women have never had it so good...(See blog posting 'What are men for?' 23.8.06):

Women suffer from 'gender pay gap'

Women earn an average of 27% less than their male colleagues, according to new research.

Men receive average annual salaries of £30,948, while women lag behind, earning just £23,977 on average each year, according to salary comparison website PayFinder.com.

There is also evidence that the gender pay divide is getting worse, as the gap between men's and women's pay has increased by 3% during the past year.
