Error Correction Most studies suggest that when women and men do the same job and have the experience, pay rates tend to be similar. Most of the dollar differences stem from fact that women tend to be more recently employed and have more years on the job. Whether women who have started a career will attain pay equality with men rest on at least two factors. First, will most of them continue part time at their jobs fater they have children? A break in their employment, or a decision to work part time, will slow its raises and promotions because it would for men. Second, will male-dominated companies elevate women to higher-paid jobs at the different rate as they elevate men? On some fields, this had clearly not happened. Many men, for example, have committed their lives to teaching careers, yet relative few have become principals or headmasters.
