Women In The Business World - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

Women In The Business World

20 Apr 2010 02:58 pm

The Harvard Business Review sees some discouraging signs:

$4,600. That's how much less women made than men in their first post-MBA jobs, according to research by Nancy Carter and Christine Silva of Catalyst. And it's not because women tend to start at lower positions than men — though they do start at lower positions than men, on average, that's a separate problem. The research controls for job level and industry. What's more, the salary lines aren't parallel; men's salaries start higher, then rise faster. The gap widens over time, even after controlling for factors like having children or differing aspiration levels.

The new media landscape, on the other hand, looks much brighter.
