The current KKKon and FUDr meme on this issue is "...cause women work less hours..." or some other bullshit control that's been false on it's face...Please people , do NOT let the right wing BS'rs here or anywhere else try to data bomb or FUDr this study....

In most common occupations women still make less than men doing the same job for an equal amount of hours, according to new data released on Tuesday.
Overall they earn 77 cents for each dollar made annually by men and in some professions such as financial managers the number drops to 66 cents.
In most common occupations - Meaning there aren't too many women playing middle line backer for the KC Chiefs so there are a set of common occupations out there for men and women like.....teacher.
women still make less than men doing the same job for an equal amount of hours - This is the KEY, conservatives and fudrs are trying to lump ALL occupations and times and THEN dilute the data regarding pay equity. They are also throwing in tons of controls past a reasonable level but even when they do there STILL...STILL is a pay gap of 5%...but that's if you add in ALL occupations like....center for the LA Lakers, of course women are going spend less time being a center for a male NBA team!!!
The Mormon Church is NOT a passive organization like others have been politically in the past when it comes to candidates in or running for office ESPECIALLY for those in the upper echelon like rMoney has been.
The Mormon church has a HISTORY of being against women equal pay not suffrage etc, they've been pretty good at make sure Mormon women voted.
The GOP has an issue with women and rMoney will NOT...NOT support women's EQUALITY especially in pay looking at the position the LDS has had since the 80s.
Read this crap about the Mormon church and equal pay acts if you wanna puke - http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&sourceId=f8a4615b01a6b010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____

(37,305 posts)2. Working full time doesn't say much about actual hours worked.
At least in my experience. Spent 14 hours at work yesterday but this survey would count it as full time work meaning 8 hours I assume. If I had kids I would have had to quit this job ages ago, and I would have wanted to out of necessity.
