Attending a Highly-Selective College Does Little to Boost a Woman’s Pay
For shame! Even Ivy educated women are earning less than men. Is it due to career choices? Nursing? Teaching? Counseling? How wide is the gap when they’re looking at the same profession?
Here are some shocking statistics:
A report released on April 23, 2007 by the American Association of University Women found that “women one year out of a 4-year college earn 80% of what their male counterparts earn.”
10 Years After Graduation – Women earn 69 cents to every dollar that men earn 10 years after graduation; the wage gap widens to 12%.
Educated Women Experience a Greater Pay Gap – Catherine Hill, research director at AAUW tesified that attending a highly-selective institution does little to boost a woman’s pay, and educated women experience a greater pay gap than women overall.
