only be explained by bias against women, or other causes - such as women not negotiating as well for pay, he said. [Q4] According to the study, women earned at least 15 percent less than men in these job categories: psychologists, pharmacists, physicians, opticians, pilots and game artists. [Q5] But in the fields of social work, selling merchandise, research assistants and physician advisors, women earn more than men, Glassdoor said. In social work, women earned 7.8 percent more than men, the report said. That was the job category with the biggest advantage for women. It was still far less than the 28 percent pay advantage for men in some fields, the study said. Adapted from http://www.chinavoa.com/show-8464-236152-1.html 2 QUESTIONS:
