The average fulltime working man works 6 hours per week or 15 percent longer than the average fulltime working woman.</p>\n<p>Men are more likely to take jobs that require work on weekends and evenings and therefore pay more.</p>\n<p>Even within the same career category, men are more likely to pursue high-stress and higher-paid areas of specialization. ...</p>\n<p>Women business owners make less than half of what male business owners make, which, since they have no boss, means it's independent of discrimination.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Via <em><a href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505125_162-28246928/the-gender-pay-gap-is-a-complete-myth/\">The Gender Pay Gap is a Complete Myth - CBS News</a></em>.</p>\n"
