| Elizabeth Warren paid female staffers 71% of male staffers’ salaries |
| 2017-04-05 |
| [TWITCHY] ... women working for Warren were paid just 71 cents for every dollar paid to men during the 2016 fiscal year, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis. The median annual earnings for women staffers, $52,750, was more than $20,000 less than the median annual earnings for men, $73,750, according to the analysis of publicly available Senate data. When calculated using average salaries rather than median, the pay gap expands to just over $26,051, or about 31 percent. Consistent with previous Free Beacon analyses of Senate salary data, only full-time staffers who were employed for the entire period in question were included in the calculations. |

| #10 #4 Did they take into account 'educational achievement'? That, along with job experience are what the stats weenies call "confounding variables", things you need to control for or eliminate lest they render your analysis useless. I'm conflicted here. On one hand, I like the Reverse Alinsky - make them live up to their own rules. On the other, I hate to see BS numbers tossed around. Admittedly, the gravy on top is a chance to mock Fauxahontas. |

| #8 That is no longer the determination for 'opportunity' or 'pay' in many folks' minds, Pappy. I was thinking more along the lines of 'Harvard' versus 'Bay State Community'. |

| #7 No equal wampum for equal work? What happened to the cultural war being waged on the left? |

| #6 Did they take into account 'educational achievement'? That is no longer the determination for 'opportunity' or 'pay' in many folks' minds, Pappy. 'Experience' gets the short-shrift too. |
