Truth has a way of not sitting well with the hardened ideologues .... I suppose you still believe in the wage gap against women ....
Talk about off-topic, but I'll play.
I know you want to see better pay for all those women (and men) working in age - and child-care industries.
What gives?
Women are currently in receipt of 7% per hour worked more than men, not including penalty rates. Increasing rates of pay in aged and child care areas are SECTOR rises - and probably needed - and have nothing to do with a person's sex.
Good, I'm glad we sorted that out, except of course age and child care workers are 90% female, so ...
de facto gender related
Quote:Considering the smarmy Albo-style presumption to be that more women work in those areas of work - that means the actual gap AGAINST men will rise again...
That's not the fault of the women working in the predominantly female-staffed, underpaid child and age care industries.
Quote:The 'wage gap' against women is a lie on more than one front - firstly in no industry are they paid less for the same work; the actual figures show that they are currently paid 7% more per actual hour worked (they work fewer hours); and nowhere are they disadvantaged in education and promotion and employment - STILL receiving preference in certain industries despite the 7% per hour pay gap against men; and still in receipt of open-ended quotas that read "at LEAST 50% women", these being the top paid salaried positions etc....
Ok, you win....but just make sure those child and age care workers get paid a proper living wage.
Quote:You DO understand rate of pay per hour as opposed to total earnings, don't you? It's not rocket surgery....
Yes.

I'll be the guy owning the two masted sailing ship going up the coast and waving to you fools onshore as I head to my haven in The Azores... sandy beaches, drinking rum every night... a hop across the Atlantic to Bermuda etc... rub shoulders with the stars etc .... I've done my bit over and over... so stuff yez all in your self-made stupidity...
So you worked hard (hopefully honestly), and are entitled to the retirement you choose.
My concerns are with enabling above-poverty participation for all, during their working lives.
