From the Paper:
"The work of the AAUW entitled: "Behind the Pay Gap" in a press release states that new research released by the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation indicates that in the first year following college "women working full time already earn less than their male colleagues, even when they work in the same field." (AAUW, 2007) The AAUW Educational Foundation reports that women, after one year of college early eighty percent of what their male counterparts earn. Ten years following college graduation "women fall further behind, early only 69 percent of what men earn." (AAUW, 2007) This is even after having controlled for hours, occupation, parenthood, and other factors which may affect earnings. The gender pay gap "remains unexplained and is likely due to sex discrimination." (AAUW, 2007)"Sample of Sources Used:
