Until there is equitable pay, the women will leave. They make less and the family will naturally opt for the larger compensation.

I tell my clients at Performance Power Media that in order to do good work in the world, you must first be KNOWN. Then amazing and wonderful things can happen.

I think we would see more encouraging data with a study that included the entire top executive team and even more woman-friendly statistics if the study included all VPs and above. Studies show that women are not as motivated by money as men are so it is not surprising that the top 5 highest paid positions would be held by men. Also, some of these very top positions likely are occupied by men who got to that level before women began breaking through the glass ceiling. So to our friends at UC Davis perhaps an idea for a grant proposal would be to do a broader study.
