Quick and dirty thoughts on International Women's Day and pay gaps for single women

Me, being not surprised.

So it’s International Women’s Day and I’ve been reading Wells Fargo's gender pay gap report looking at single, never-married women. It has so much to unpack. It's like it was made for The Budgette. Here’s BNN’s article.

So obviously I'm going to talk about it because I have articles I bookmarked about this.

First, I'm not that surprised by the findings, tbh. One reason is we do get penalized when we ask for more compensation. Get rid of that nonsense that women do not ask for raises. We do.

See this HBR article from 2018.
