If you’re a woman about to graduate from college (or have a daughter who is), the National Association of Colleges and Employers has some disconcerting news for you. First, the bright side: You probably won’t have more trouble finding a job than the guy sitting next to you. In almost every year since 1994, unemployment among female grads has been lower than for their male counterparts. In 2010, it was 8.1% for women, versus 10.3% for men. Great, but here’s the rub: Even if you snag the exact same job as your male classmate, you’ll probably get paid 17% less.

I am 17 years on the job and only called in sick for 2 days and I was phonecalled to tell me to bring a Dr's excuse. I rarely make mistakes and always in uniform, keep my equipment better than anyone else. My boss always finds time to write co-workers for negative tiny stuff but when he makes mistakes manager says that is ok because of his hard work which he doesn't even help us. The market shows that I am 15k underpaid and I mentioned to my general manager and he said that our company pays great to us, but I know he is lying. A co worker showed me his paycheck and I saw he makes almost $2 more than me and doesn't even do more than me, so I questioned my company and I was told that I could be suspended or even terminated for knowing that info.
