Excerpt from Popular Government, Vol. 49: Spring 1984The State of Washington had studied its jobs, had found disparities in pay between men and women, and had not rectified those inequalities. The federal district court ruled that that was evidence of unlawful discrimination and ordered the state to pay the women who had been discriminated against hundreds of millions of dollars to rectify the disparity.A North Carolina example. In 1983 the North Carolina Office of State Personnel released a study of pay patterns in state government.26 The study was in one aspect merely statistical. It sought to account statistically for factors that affect salary and to deter mine the effect on pay of the race and sex of the person who holds the job.The study concluded: While education has the single most in¿uential impact on salary, the effects of race and sex are also significant. The considerable direct effects of race and sex on salary (that is, those not transmitted through differences in education levels, years of aggregate service, occupational placement, or super visory placement) indicate other, perhaps, illegitimate sources of salary disparities are present27 [emphasis added].About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
