This book explores wage discrimination faced by women from a unique perspective: comparing "dissimilar" jobs to assess the nature and extent of wage gaps. Before the 1980s, the law restricted wage discrimination claims to comparisons of "equal" work. However, recent legal breakthroughs have opened the door to considering dissimilar jobs. The author analyzes the landmark Vuyanich v. Republic National Bank case, which established a methodology for comparing dissimilar jobs using job evaluation. This precedent-setting case has far-reaching implications for addressing wage discrimination and the broader issue of comparable worth. The book delves into the complexities of measuring productivity, addressing the controversy over using job status as a control variable, and highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by the concept of comparable worth. Through its detailed examination of the legal and econometric dimensions of wage discrimination, this book provides valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for pay equity and equal opportunities in the workplace.
