TGIF – Men, Women & Money

March 11, 2011 by Bill Bradley

As the week winds down, we wind down with some tidbits for your information, education, health, and enjoyment.

Quote of the Week: Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.  Timothy Leary

Humor Break: Little known fact about Compensation Practices: Your pay raise is just large enough to increase your taxes and just small enough to have no effect on your take-home pay.

Stat of the Week: Men are 94% more likely than women to seek jobs in which competition with coworkers affects pay rates, a preference that might help explain persistent pay differences between men and women, a study at the University of Chicago shows.

Action Tip: Unhappy with your pay?  Volunteer somewhere.  All volunteers get paid the same.

Volunteering: Read this article on volunteering.
