Women in corporate R&D still get paid for less

Article Abstract:

Women scientists and engineers are paid less than their male counterparts despite the increase of doctoral science/engineering degrees awarded to women. As of 1995, the median pay of male Ph.D.s in industry was $75,000 compared to $64,500 for women. The discrepancy in pay is partly due to the fact that men choose fields within industries that pay the highest. Men are promoted based on their potentials while women must present proof of their competence before they are promoted. Women are discriminated against in scientific careers because of the perception that they lack competence in science and technology.
