Internal Data: Hillary Clinton Paid Women And Men Equally

A report on Clinton’s office compensation earlier this year quickly became a conservative talking point. Internal data shows she paid a dollar for dollar during her Senate tenure across all offices.

Hillary Clinton paid women and men equally as a U.S. senator, according to a review of internal salary information that shows full-time female and male staffers from her Senate office and three political committees making a dollar for dollar.

Scott Walker Reveals Extreme Views On Equal Pay

In an interview with Boston Herald radio, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), who is expected to announce his candidacy for the Republican presidential ticket next month, was asked by the host what he thought of Hillary Clinton’s support for equal pay legislation, and he responded by indicating that supporting such laws “pit[s] one group against another group.”

The host brought up figures that showed Clinton supposedly paid her male staffers more, despite numbers that show women actually earned slightly more on average. But Walker replied, “I think an even bigger issue than that is that this is sadly something that would make her consistent with the president, and that is I believe that the president and now Hillary Clinton tend to think politically they do better if they pit one group of Americans versus another.” He went on to say that he thinks Americans are looking for leaders who “are going to stand up and say, ‘How do we make every American’s life better, how do we help everyone get a piece of the American Dream,’ not how do we pit one group against another group out there.”

His solution, he indicated, is to “help make sure that people have the skills and the education and qualifications they need to succeed in life, to live their piece of the American dream.”

He also likened the push for equal pay laws to seeking to make more people reliant on government. “For [Obama and Clinton], your measure of success in government is how many people are dependent on the government.”

But what Walker implies he’d rather do to address the wage gap — give women more education and qualifications — won’t do the trick. Women who recently graduated from college will make less in their first jobs than men who went to similar schools, studied similar topics, and had similar grades. The gap will remain no matter how much more education a woman pursues, and in fact it actually gets wider the more degrees she obtains. Women with graduate degrees have the widest gender wage gap, making just 69 percent of what men with the same education make, compared to the national average of 78 percent for those who work full time, year round................

Clinton, who has been a longtime advocate of equal pay for women, is expected to launch a second presidential bid on Sunday — and has, along with senior aides, spent recent weeks building her campaign staff, to be headquartered in Brooklyn.

The compensation data, obtained by BuzzFeed News, spans from 2002 to 2008 — a period covering every full fiscal year of Clinton’s tenure as the junior senator from New York. ........
