“Are Women Earning More Than Men?”

Warren Farrell, forbes.com, 5/12/06
http://www.forbes.com/ceonetwork/2006/05/12/women-wage-gap-cxwf0512earningmore.html

Despite much historical evidence to support the idea that women tend to earn less money than their male counterparts, Warren Farrell, who has done a decade’s worth of research exploring the wage gap, asserts that women can earn the same money or even more depending on how they set their priorities. Farrell found that while men are most likely to put high earnings as a first priority, women often prefer to have more free time available for family and friends as an important priority. However, those women who exhibit the same flexibility and availability for their employer as men have a very strong chance for earnings on par or even above those of men.

NOTE: Farrell’s book Why men earn more: the startling truth behind the pay gap—and what women can do about it is available as an e-book through the Simmons College Library.
