Even Female Law Partners Suffer Wage Disparities—to the Tune of $66,000 a Year
Jesse’s got a new Newsweek piece about wage disparity in the legal profession—even among the best lawyers at the most elite firms. A new study found those women, within the highest ranks of the most respected firms, make, on average, $66,000 each year less than men.
First of all: ouch, apparently we’re in the wrong field. But second: double ouch, that is totally appalling. As one employment attorney put it:
“The numbers are so stark that it really does call into question whether there is a systemic problem.”
We’d go with yes.
