Power Suits and Breast Pumps: Juggling Career and Family

In 2009, an article appeared in the April issue of Marie Claire titled “Salary Report: We’re Still Getting Shortchanged”. The article identified the following statistics:

For every dollar a man makes, a woman makes 78 cents. That number has climbed 1 cent since 2006.
Fresh-out-of-college women make $15,498 less per year than the boys; over a 35-year career, they'll make $210,000 less.
A 25-year-old female PR specialist makes the same as her male colleagues; 20 years later, she'll make about $35,000 less.
She-EOs make $303,000 less than their male counterparts.
Male primary-care physicians make 22 percent more than lady docs.
Male IT workers make 11.9 percent more than geekettes.
According to the American Association of University Women, at the current rate, we'll reach pay equity in 2040.

Like the article in Marie Claire, we have found these articles and videos helpful to those who care about issues facing career women today. This collection represents articles that we found to be useful, and the Center in no way takes credit for their content.
