In a follow-up to Tuesday's post about the gender pay gap, where we reported that women now earn 81% of what men do (the highest level reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the 26 years it has been tracking this information), comes a new study which shows us that it matters who is sitting in the top seats. According to the results of the study "Working for the Man: Management Characteristics and the Gender Wage Gap" published by sociologists Philip Cohen (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and Matt Huffman (University of California, Irvine), in organizations in which women serve as senior managers, female employees of the company earn 91% of male employees' wages on average.
