“we observed that, on average, women were more likely than men to work part-time (i.e., fewer than 35 hours per week) because of personal or family obligations. Moreover, in comparison to men, women were less likely to work overtime (i.e., at least two hours per week) to attain additional income, but more likely to work overtime to step in for colleagues. Altogether, people had “gendered” reasons to work certain hours.”

So let’s take 4 people… all making $20 an hour.

1 male working 40 hours a week.
1 male working 50 hours a week.
1 female working 35 hours a week.
1 female working 40 hours a week.

40 * 20 = $800 a week * 52 = $41,600 a year.
50 * 20 = $1,000 a week * 52 = $52,000 a year.
Total male earnings = $93,600 a year.

35 * 20 = $700 a week * 52 = $36,400 a year.
40 * 20 = $800 a week * 52 = $41,600 a year.
Total female earnings = $78,000 a year.

78,000 / 93,600 = ZOMG women make 83.33% of what men do!

Edit In a rush this morning and forgot to bill the OT at time and a half…

40 * 20 = $800 a week * 52 = $41,600 a year.
40 * 20 = $800 a week * 52 = $41,600 a year.
10 * 30 = $300 a week OT * 52 = $15,600 a year.
Total male earnings $98,800.

Total female earnings $78,000 a year.

78,000 / 98,800 = ZOMG women make 78.94% of what men do!
