Yukking it up about the wage gap

September 30th, 2006

It’s the weekend, so rather than post some dire stats about how women make roughly 75% of what their male counterparts make as I’d intended (believe me, I have a nice stack of reports and articles I could draw from), I thought I’d post these more entertaining reminders that not all workers are created equal:

1. Batgirl vs. the wage gap - A charming little YouTube vid. (”Holy act of Congress, Batman!”)

2. “A Career in Business Isn’t for Every Gender” - The Onion’s hilarious take on the glass ceiling. Almost knocks the Forbes “Don’t Marry Career Woman” piece down to size. Almost.

Thanks to Salon.com’s Broadsheet for clueing me in to both. More dire stats to come in a future post. Feel free to share any you come across too via email or comments.
