COWS Says Women still Earn Less in Comparisons

" ... Maybe this will be an opportunity for people
to rethink paid employment, particularly now
that families are dependent on the earnings of
the wife. A lot of the jobs out here for women
are in nursing or as home health aides. Those
are not jobs that pay family-sustaining wages.
Eileen Appelbaum, Economist and Director
Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University
(as quoted in Newsweek) ... "

Nevertheless, the gender wage gap remains persistent and substantial. In 2009, women earned 81 cents on the dollar compared to men (see Figure 1). This gender wage gap is slightly wider than the 2008 gap of 82 cents on the dollar. With a median hourly wage of $14.50 in 2009, Wisconsin women’s wages were roughly 19 percent lower than men’s. At this rate, a full-time woman worker in the state would earn around $30,200 per year, on average, compared to more than $37,400 per year for men—a difference of over $7,000 in earnings annually.

For all Wisconsin workers, education—particularly securing a four-year degree—pays off in increased wages. However, while the gender wage gap diminishes with higher levels of education, men earn more than women at all education levels, as shown in Figure 2. In 2009, women with a high school diploma earned 75 cents on the dollar compared to men with the same education. This improves to 80 cents on the dollar for women with a Bachelors degree and to 89 cents on the dollar for women with more than a four-year degree, compared to similarly educated men.

OWNED is kind of a messy game... lots of non-action, and even less police action. Much of thegame is about Photo's. In sync with a barrel of "play money" I go about sorting out the most averse from the less averse subjects of the photos.

Your Lunch Money...

L$1,269,207

Cash Out 82 Photos!

Earn More L$

I like to inflate the prices, and make it look like a hot item. Just like Madoff -- when I Purchase a Photo, I over bid by ten thousand or more fake dollars. Then someone discovers my purchase, and walks into my squirrel trap, I make back the inflated price plus profit.. so when I sign in each day my net worth steadily increases.

Now my net worth is flipping about two million a day. I just passed our previous leader from my group of friends, Rosa Pagan.. Kind of weird to think about, so I don't think as I flip through thousands of faces and other photos stuff... fills lots of time that I could be doing other useful things.

The comment from the kid in Mexico comes from that game.. I thought it was kind of funny. It is from the slot where the subject tells a brief fact or two about himself, herself, or itself; where they are from, and other half-truths.

Also, I have tried to find a set of Cheat Notes for OWNED\FaceBook, but yet to zero in on a way to amass a billion in play money. I notice some bidders, supposedly from Greece, have figured a way to inflate the purchase prices of scantily clad women up to a billion L-Dollars. I am speculating this is a territorial, Cardinals versus the Mockingbirds, nesting rights, scuffle tendency like twist, to the game.

Again, I really don't want to think... I just want to bid, bid, bid for bidness in OWNED -- Capito? Ciao, yous'e.

the black oracle of communications and stare into the eyeball-sucking screen. done
