New Evidence on Gender Pay Gap for Women in Management
Washington, D.C. – Are gender pay gaps more prevalent in some industries than others? Are women in management paying a price for being mothers? Are families who depend on the wages of Management Moms being penalized? The U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee, chaired by Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, will hold a hearing, titled “New Evidence on the Gender Pay Gap for Women and Mothers in Management,” on Tuesday, September 28, 2010, at 10:00 A.M. that will explore these questions. At the hearing, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) will present their findings of a comprehensive industry-by-industry assessment of wage differences between men and women managers. This report will also, for the first time, take an in-depth look at the impact of motherhood on the wage gap among managers and its impact on family incomes.
