The Most Reasonable and Balanced Article I Have Read.

Anita U. Hattiangadi’s article What’s My Line Worth? is the most reasoned and balanced article I have ever read on the subject of the difference between women’s and men’s pay.

In some organizations women are being paid less than men, but this article demolishes the conventional wisdom that all organizations pay women less. I applaud her research and the practical way she has applied the results of her research.

Too often in areas such as this the authors have an agenda (political, cultural, sociological or notoriety) which colors their rhetoric. However this should not lull us to sleep. Individuals should be paid a fair wage not necessarily on some arbitrary “comparable worth” scale.
