Work for Democrats? Obama? Are female? You're paid less.

Female employees of Obama for America earned less on average than male employees during the months of May and June, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis of the campaign’s public filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

The Obama reelection campaign’s female employees earned an average of $6,872 during that period, compared with an average of $7,235 for male employees. That is a difference of $363, or 5.3 percent.

The annualized pay difference is more than $2,100 per year.

The pay disparity is consistent with other Free Beacon analyses, which found that female employees of both the White House and Democratic lawmakers were consistently paid less than their male peers.

Women working for Democratic Senators made about $6,500 (10 percent) less on average than male staff members in 2011, public records show. Several prominent Democrats, such as Sens. Patty Murray (D., Wash.), Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), and Dick Durbin (D., Ill.), paid their female employees more than 20 percent less on average.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) paid her female staffers almost 30 percent less on average than males staffers in 2011.

The pay disparity was especially pronounced among employees of the White House. The median female salary there in 2011 was about $11,000 (18 percent) less than the median male salary.

A number of prominent Democratic politicians have accused the Republican Party of actively waging a “war on women,” citing GOP opposition to legislation that would make it easier for trial lawyers to file class action lawsuits against employers for alleged pay discrimination.

Experts told the Free Beacon that the so-called “Paycheck Fairness Act,” which the Senate failed to advance in June, would have been a significant boon to the trial lawyer industry, a highly influential Democratic client group that is the number one source of campaign contributions for all but five members of the Senate Democratic caucus.

"Those gaps translate to a difference of about $10,000 in average annual pay for female House GOP staffers and a difference of about $1,400 for female House Democratic staffers, the survey finds."

Quote mining is fun!

An article from Forbes that explains the Republican approval of the pay gap.

Yawn.

Try again.

BCspace, do you disapprove of the pay gap? Sounds like you are a feminist.

So you'll be voting against sustaining the men who lead a Church where women aren't allowed the Priesthood...?

Earth to BCspace...have you joined the ranks of the feminists? The world needs to know.

Only for that three seconds when this cheap "gotcha Democrat!" post is being processed. Otherwise he's totally cool that Republican women staffers are even further under payed than Democratic staffers.
