Are you totally opposed to a free market?

Employers will (and should) pay (or at least bargain for) the least they can for the quality of work they get, and employees should insist on (or at least bargain for) the highest pay they can get. It's a color blind, gender blind, process. It's called a free market.

I call it fantasy word. Are you oblivious to our countries history?

I keep hearing here how the Chassidish community has a poverty/undermployment/etc problem, that we don't have enough people with high paying jobs.

I think I'm going to start a movement demanding equal pay for chassidim.


And if you think this is a problem with a lack of qualifications,

if you think there is no implicit bias here then you are fooling yourself.

Your first sentence has nothing to do with your second sentence.

why not? Chassidim are making $.074 on the dollar compared to non-chassidim (ok, the number is made up but but you get the point.)

I demand chassidic wage equality.

How about we start with Chassidim women compared to men. Scratch that since women are probably not allowed to do the same jobs.

I think you might be proving my point here.

Actually just the opposite. My point was not about wages.

Actually just the opposite. My point was not about wages.

Well whatever your point was, you've (inadvertantly?) pointed out that there's a disparity in wages here. Which I think proves my point.

Regardless, I'm gonna do my part now to close the wage gap by getting off ddf and getting some work done
ETA: Although if wearing a red shirt would help instead I'm all for doing that instead. I think it's a lot easier.

A disparity in wages is a given and did not need proving. Now why is there a disparity?

Well obviously it must be bias/discrimination.

Now go make some money!

I am not opposed to a free market. But if you think there is no implicit bias here then you are fooling yourself.

if you believe there are employers who are biased against women, then don't you think if he (bias employer) had to hire someone and a man a woman with equal skill sets applied he would surely take the man and he doesn't lose out because both must be paid equally. However without equal pay laws the woman could offer to work for less and now the bias employer will only be able to hire the man over the woman for reasons other than skills at a cost to his business. If the woman's skills are more than the man's then what good is that for woman and if her skills are less, than you are denying her the only tool she has to get the job that being lesser pay.
