The problem, of course, extends far beyond the
relatively benign structures of state bureaucracies.
A National Academy of Sciences report came up
with the obvious conclusion that discrimination is a
many-fingered thing which works in many ways, but
always in one direction.
"Not only do women do different work than men,
but also the work women do is paid less, and the
more an occupation is dominated by women the less
it pays," the academy report states.
This discriminatory evaluation of jobs simply
forms part of a larger pattern of oppression. Blacks,
women and Hispanics are forced into lower-paying
jobs; and these job categories remain badly paid
because the people who hold them are anxious to
keep them.
Marolyn Robson, chairwoman of the Nebraska
Commission on the Status of Women, correctly
points out that corporations have used ranking sys
tems and parity scales to allow pay discrimination
among jobs for many years. It's just time to remove
one factor, that of gender, from the list of acceptable
discriminations.
