  1. Gender Analysis of Research Analysis Position at NIAR By Elizabeth Clarkson, Ph.D.

  2. I was unhappy with my salary • Over the past 3 decades of working in a male dominated industry, I have found that when I compare my salary to survey data about my profession I am inevitably on the low side until I get to the breakdown by gender. • I recently discovered just how underpaid I was –the 3rd percentile! • I requested and received data regarding NIAR employees in my job classification. • I wanted to find out how my salary compared with other men and women at NIAR.

  3. The Graph Gives me HOPE! • I know, to the casual observer that graph might appear to be supportive of gender discrimination in pay. It’s not. • The t-test is the best measure of that and it indicates the small difference between genders on average within a job classification is not statistically significant. • Few older women are in the Research Analyst position. • Look at the distribution for women in the under 40 age group!

  4. I see evidence of change! • I see two young women in the upper range of their age group • Look at them! No doubt they hold advanced degrees already. • I earned my Bachelors at 23, my Master’s at 31 and my Ph.D. at 51. • Combining family and career starting back in the 80’s has meant a slower approach to both for me. • My pay reflects the choices I’ve made and the ambient culture of my generation.

  5. Let me explain • The females over 40 earn less than their male counterparts. • This is a likely result of the pervasive discrimination older women faced in our early careers and sacrifices made for the sake of our families. • The lack of discrimination in pay for younger women indicates that they are not experiencing gender discrimination in pay. THINGS ARE BETTER NOW!
