In honour of Pay Equity day, what are our thoughts on its relevance in our sector specifically. There are generally almost more female than male assistants. Would anyone say the pay gap that exists in other sectors exists here too? And if it does, is it the other way around or the good old men almost always get paid higher?

Good question! Looking at it briefly, it looks like men still make more but the gap is closer with women coming in at 84%-98% of their male counterparts. Lame.

That is so interesting! Could you please point to where you sourced this?

What I know is our sector is the one of the most underrated, underpaid sector of all times. Not many people have the soft skills to be an EA but these are still dont appreciated.
