I'm Depressed

I am starting to get a migraine as I read the latest wage survey. According to surveys by Dice.com, a career placement site for technology professionals, and Computerworld the wage gap is growing between men and women in the technology sector. This means that women are making even less than men at the same job than last year. I could spit nails.

According to Dice.com the gap widened from 9.7% in 2006 to 11.9% in 2007. The wage gap varies depending on the type of job, but at every level the wage gap is still significant, according to this survey. Computerworld found similar gaps with the gap narrowing significantly in upper management, but not disappearing.

The fact that in 2007, almost 100 years after we were granted the right to vote, after all the work women have done to highlight this gap as a problem, the fact that a gap exists let alone grows, makes me very angry. No matter who you are you should be paid the same for the same job. It is not simply unfair, it is unreasonable.
