Having begun my compensation consulting career in the late 1960's, when some employers were still willing to openly defend their rationale for paying women less than men in equal jobs, I would have expected by now that, all things considered, men and women in positions of equal responsibility were generally paid comparably in this country.
Not so. In a thoroughly researched and well written article, my friend Deborah Eisenberg -- a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland School of Law -- demonstrates that pay discrimination is still very much with us, and greatest at the higher levels of management. The article is well worth reading, and can be found here: Shattering The Equal Pay Act's Glass Ceiling.
