626.0. "Some new salary figures" by RAINBO::TARBET (I'm the ERA) Thu Jun 01 1989 16:25
"To begin with, 50% of the population is ruled out of the [...]
high-salary formula by gender. Although its extent has been reduced in
the past two decades, there still is sex discrimination in R&D
salaries.
Along with that come factors which at first appear to be sex
discrimination, but are merely sex/culture related. [ interesting
distinction! ]
...
Even having a PhD in her field does not make enough salary differeence
to bring the female university biologist into the upper salary ranks.
...
However, as the table clearly shows, the highest median salary for
women in R&D [ $41,249 ] (in government) remains below the lowest median
for men [ $41,635 ] (in universities)"
from "Keys to Top R&D Salaries: Age, Experience, Education"; Research &
Development Magazine, May 1989; author Robert R. Jones, Executive
Editor.

| Can you type in some more of this (or was this supposed to be a reply
rather than a new note)? It sounds like interesting (if disturbing)
information even taken out of context - especially since some of us in
DEC are doing R & D work.

| There's really not alot more about women particularly, Charlotte. I'll
send you a xerox of the article if you like.
He fundamentally says that yes there is discrimination, but seems to
define it purely as an individual phenomenon (some guy trashes women
cuz he's prejudiced). He doesn't seem to grasp that the guy who
trashes women has been set up to do that by a culture that makes it
normative for women to gravitate to the lower-paid professions or to
break _their_ careers for family reasons. He just doesn't seem to see
the systemic side of the problem at all.

(Actually, I thought it should go as a rx rather than a basenote, but
couldn't find the right string. I'll move it if you can suggest a
destination)
