For every $1 a white man earns

It's pretty simple: Men and women in the same job should get the same pay. The House has passed the #PaycheckFairnessAct to help make equal pay a reality. It's 2019! Let's get it done. ⁣

They reckon it will take at least 200 years before there is real pay equality..

1. So Asian men make more than white men?

[Dr. Strange]

2. Yes

[Wounded Bear]

3. We'd better get someone on that right fucking now...

[Soph0571]

5. How dare they?!?!

Huge eye roll!!!

9. Interesting that the chart still pivots around white men, given that, isn't it? n/t

[milestogo]

10. Well that's always been the yardstick by which others incomes have been measured.

[X_Digger]

11. I would have started with the top, and worked down, regardless of that class. n/t

[Igel]

12. That's the pivot.

And we use traditional pivots we condemn fairly often.

We use what's useful, not always what's principled.

23. Yes. They tend to be concentrated in the technical fields and medicine.

All are at the highend of pay scales. Many get their pre-college schooling in their home countries and come here sponsored by their government or their upperclass families for college or come over on visas, with graduate degrees.

On edit:

The schools in those countries take in the economically elite and only the proven elite of the elite come here. Still, in those countries poor people have a pretty bleak future.

4. There are lots of contributing factors...

Racism and education inequality are the top reasons.

[CousinIT]

6. Add it up over a lifetime, women and people of color are cheated out of a LOT of money. n/t

[BigmanPigman]

7. Women have to pay a "pink tax" too.

Tons of those pink, freshly scented items cost women 25% more than the same product that is marketed for men like deodorant and "other" things like dry cleaning.

[FakeNoose]

18. There's that, but also childcare costs too

Not always, but oftentimes the cost/responsibility of childcare falls on "Mom" not "Dad."

[BigmanPigman]

20. A ton of costs still and will continue to fall on the moms.

We chose to be born with a functioning uterus (didn't you know..we had a "choice" ) and will be punished for it as long as there are men.

8. Very interesting!

Thanks for posting Soph!

13. Thanks for posting this.

[PandoraAwakened]

14. Thanks House Democrats

...for at least planting a flag with the Paycheck Fairness Act showing which party is and which party is NOT (the Rethugs, of course) for equality.

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. "They reckon it will take at least 200 years before there is real pay equality"

In two hundred years, we will have destroyed the oceans and human life as we know it will be eradicated.

[Farmer-Rick]

16. Capitalism really sucks

Why can't we just all be equal?

[Kaleva]

17. Apprently, this nation puts a premium on Asian men and women.

[Amishman]

19. More education and hours worked

Asian men are one of the most highly educated demographic and work some of the most hours per week (white men average more hours per week than any other demographic.)

[FakeNoose]

21. It's often a matter of education and training

The Asian men & women are more likely to get degrees in STEM and computer science, and they're highly recruited and compensated. Caucasians in those fields are also well-paid, so why aren't more Caucasians choosing those fields?

[JI7]

22. the asians mostly refers to Indians and east asians (Japanese Chinese Korean)

and they tend to have much more and higher education levels. including continuing education while working.
