[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 958700, member: 60724"] Caymen, I simply do not think it is black and white, no pun intended. I do NOT think that it is generally wrong to pay two people that do the same job differently. It happens all the time. Employers often pay different workers different pay for the same job for any number of good reasons. The issue as I see it is that it tends to turn our government and our courts into "thought police" when they go after employers that they perceive are discriminating based on sex, race, etc. As I said, even for the same jobs, there may be real reasons that employers value and therefore pay men more than women, on average. I can't think of good examples or types of work where this might apply, but I can't discount that to certain employers it might make a difference. Young, male elementary vs young female elementary school teachers make for one possible disparity. Some might value the male more than the female because they are more scarce and also less likely to leave after a short term. TJR [/QUOTE]
