Do Women Earn Less than Men?

Are women discriminated against in the workplace? Looking at the data, women on average earn an annual wage that is approximately 75% that of men, which many people believe is the result of discrimination. However, when Prof. Steve Horwitz analyzes the data more closely, he finds that women make certain choices, such as career selection and raising children, which tend to result in lower wages than men. These choices could be the result of personal preferences or sexist cultural expectations for women's work, though the relative influence of these two factors remains unclear.

Minimum Wage Hike Would Boost Economy By Billions

Order: Reorder

Updated: 19 Jan 2014

"The impact of a minimum wage hike is one of the most hotly debated issues in economic research. But a growing body of evidence indicates that a Congressional proposal, backed by President Obama, to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour would probably help the economy, not hurt it. Seventy-five economists put their weight behind this argument, releasing a letter Tuesday in support of a minimum wage hike. Though some economists argue that raising the minimum wage could wind up hurting low-wage workers by discouraging employers from hiring, the economists wrote in the letter that "the weight of evidence" now shows that "increases in the minimum wage have had little or no negative effect on the employment of minimum-wage workers." It could also have "a small stimulative effect on the economy," the group, which included seven Nobel laureates, wrote. If lawmakers were to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour, the economy would grow by $22 billion in the initial phase in period, according to a recent study from the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down. *Read more here from Jillian Berman and Alissa Scheller / The Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/14/minimum-wage-raise-proof_n_4597721.html

"Business groups are taking no chances on a possible minimum wage increase despite the promise from House Republicans to oppose it. With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) poised to have the upper chamber take a vote on a wage hike by the end of the month, K Street groups are spending millions to make sure the legislation never makes it off the Senate floor. "It's no surprise the minimum wage debate is happening right now," said Scott DeFife, the chief lobbyist for the National Restaurant Association, one of the leading opponents of a wage increase. "This is a cyclical issue that happens every five to seven years, and the fact that we are in an election year gives advocates a platform."

Economic hardship in the world's biggest financial superpower For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=66149&bid;=2 The squeezed American middle class has been at breaking point for some time. Now with politicians reluctant to raise the minimum wage and food stamps being cut, the social consequences could be devastating. Mike Doyle's plummet into the ranks of America's working poor is dramatic. He was a Wall Street trader - then the GFC clobbered his hedge fund and now he's mixing drinks at night for $2.13 an hour. Every day he takes the dawn ferry to Manhattan to try - so far in vain - to resuscitate his financial career. "I think it's a real big issue now. Every family I know, all of these people have two jobs", he tells us. As renowned economist Joseph Stiglitz points out, he's far from being alone. "Most Americans have seen their incomes stagnate or fall since 2008. Median income of a full-time male worker today is lower than it was 40 years ago." Yet despite the grind, some refuse to give up, like young mother of one Tayzia Treadwell. She works as a security guard in one of the toughest neighbourhoods in America, while raising her child and studying at business college. "I want the good life that everyone dreams when you're in school and you draw the little house and the picket fence and a dog. I just want a happy ending." But without help it is difficult to see even those like Tayzia achieving their dreams. The land of opportunity? Not anymore. ABC Australia

When The Rich Wage WAR

Order: Reorder
Duration: 5:16
Updated: 25 Feb 2014

Osama Bin Laden was eventually tracked down and killed some 10 years later. But the way the war on terror has been conducted has led to many voicing concerns about the impact on civil liberties, the cost of the additional security focused changes, the implications of the invasions and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and more. It is now over a decade since the terrorist attacks in the US, simply dubbed "9-11" shocked the world, and ushered in a global "war on terror". And looking back, what has the US to show for its decade of effort? Has it been winning the war on terror? It depends how it is measured. The killing of Osama Bin Laden was of course a major success. But the cost of vengeance (instead of justice) has also been high: A further turn towards hatred and a rise in those who think most Muslims are terrorists, that Islam is a threat to the world, etc. Wars that have seen far more than the 3,500 deaths that the US saw, and a self-fulfilling prophecy; creating more anger and resentment against the US, more potential terrorists, and the complete opposite of what the neo-cons wanted; global downturn and US decline instead consolidating their power and position in the world. Over 6,000 US soldiers killed in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Possibly 100 times that number of civilians in those countries (in Iraq, at an early point, there was an estimated range of 400,000 to 900,000 civilian deaths, which of course Bush had to reject, claiming it used flawed techniques, even though it used estimation techniques his own government agencies taught others to use).

Rally To Raise Minnesota Minimum Wage

Updated: 27 Feb 2014

There was singing, rapping and a whole lot of cheering in the Rotunda of the State Capitol Tuesday (Feb. 25) during a lively rally in support of raising Minnesota's minimum wage on the opening day of the 2014 Legislature. Organized by Raise the Wage MN, a coalition of labor groups, faith-based organizations and the nonprofit community, the rally included words of support from politicians and workers alike, and featured a musical performance by rapper Brother Ali and Native drummers who closed out the event. Erin Parrish, from the Mnnesota Women's Consortium, called the minimum wage fight a gender issue, with women making up 60 percent of minimum wage workers. Peggy Flanagan, executive director of the Children's Defense Fund, served as MC for the rally. "Nobody working full time should have to live in poverty," Flanagan said at the rally. "Raising the minimum wage is good for business, it's good for workers, and it's good for Minnesota families." According to Flanagan, organizers "need to work on folks reaching out to their legislators. We have a lot of support from the House, but we need support from the Senate side." One worker, Jim Parsons, with Working America, a program of the AFL-CIO, said that now is the time to raise the wage, since the recession is finally over and profits for big businesses are going up. It's time, he said, to support the people "who have been holding up the economy." "The reality is too many Minnesotans are still struggling to make ends meet," said DFL Speaker of the House Paul Thissen. "Too many Minnesotans simply don't earn enough money to feed their family. That's simply wrong, and we're going to fix that this year." Thissen said raising the wage will put money back into the economy. "It's actually going to grow jobs and make the state a stronger state for everybody," he said. DFL Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk also spoke at the rally, beginning his remarks with a comment that Walmart was trying to put a store on the Iron Range, an announcement that drew boos from the crowd. Bakk vowed to put a minimum wage bill on the Governor's desk but was not specific about what it might contain, what its chances might be for passage or how committed he is to its passage. Bakk has expressed concern about a minimum wage increase possibly posing a burden for small businesses. But he did say he intends to vote for some sort of minimum wage increase. Democrats in the House and Gov, Mark Dayton have agreed to push for a raise in the minimum wage to $9.50-per-hour, more than a 50-percentincrease from the current $6.15 an hour, which applies to small businesses not subject to federal wage laws (the federal minimum wage is $7.25).
