[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not seeing the part that is wrong with this. Those jobs - especially nannying - pay much better and off better benefits than most other jobs the candidates could get with similar skills. [/quote]
This is not true, in general. Domestic workers are often extremely exploited. It doesn't have to be this way, but it is. This is partially because it costs a lot to have a well-paid, on-the-books nanny after taxes.

Yep the same women talking about equal pay and pay gap are some of the cheapest people I know. They under pay their nanny, never give holidays off, certainly never do a paid vacation, do not pay SS and expect long hours with lots of free work. [/quote]

Ehh. I pay ours $24/hr. I pay on the books. She gets paid vacation, paid sick time and I pay for her ACA insurance policy. I give her $1000 for her birthday and Christmas. She would walk through fire for me. I think the pay gap is real and women at all sorts of levels get the short end of the stick. [/quote]
