Despite more than forty years of equal pay legislation, a significant proportion of women in the U.S. still believe that they are being short-changed in both pay and career advancement opportunities.
According to research by CareerBuilder.com, a Chicago-based online job site, more than a third (35 per cent) of women believe that they are paid less than men in their organisations with similar experience and qualifications.
The figure marks a four per cent increase on the figure reported in the same survey in 2003.
The CareerBuilder.com report, "Men and Women at Work 2006" quizzed more than 1,400 women and over 575 men working full-time.
