That is not beside the point, those who support the law support whats in it.

My feeling on the bill is beside the point.

So, do you understand now that NOBODY is asking for equal pay for everyone?

So, tell me, since the population count is roughly the same in the 55 age area and the 25 age area, why has the trend in LFPR (in my charts above) gone up for the 55+ group by approx. 10% but dropped in the 25 age group by approx. 10%?

Sure--that's easy. PCGuyer already answered it.

PCGyver says

Tells me older people aren't retiring opening up the jobs for a younger generation. Why because they are unable to live off savings rate of .08% APY and they fear not having enough for retirement.

PCGyver says

I'd like to know what is wrong with this law? All it is saying is that if person a and person b have same skills education and experience they should be paid the same. Basicly you can't pay a minority or women less for the same job.

If you don't like this law FortWayne then you are saying it is ok to pay a woman or minority less for the exact same job a white male does. This is not communism. It is equal pay for equal work.

Here's my problem--it's anti-PC to say it, but women have babies. They are MUCH more likely to miss time due to family obligations. That does affect their productivity at work. Pretending it doesn't is naïve. So, I think it's OK for companies to pay slightly less knowing that statistics show that women are slightly less productive then men.

If it's in the bill someone is asking for it. They don't just randomly write words until bill comes out. I get it, that you are having hard time admitting that you were wrong about socialistic bill, and it is very amusing.

PCGyver says

What if that woman can't have babies, should they still be paid less?

What if 2 men have same job title, but one works hard and other one does bare minimum. Why should they both be paid the same?

It also doesn't seem to enter the equation when allowing women into combat either. One of the most disruptive things in the military today is the time lost investigating scandals and the inevitability of pregnancies due to the intimate proximity of the opposite sex. There's something wrong with a society that forgets that women give and nurture life, not take it--men are supposed to be the protectors. Can you imagine the public's reaction to seeing Doris Day or Peggy Lee in combat in 1943? At most they could have bored the enemy to death with their singing.

They shouldn't. And nobody--liberal, conservative, independent--is arguing they should.

I honestly don't know where you come up with this nonsense.
