2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumArticle Seemingly Intended To Boost Hillary, Cites Her Wage Disparities.
Hillary has hands-down, the largest campaign staff, at least, according to jezebel.com. She also has more women on her team than any other candidate... so it's rather striking that HRC, who has made pay equity a major plank of her campaign, is paying men 1.2-1.7 thousand more than the women on her team.
To be fair, many other candidates are also paying men more than women... but what makes HRC's pay inequity so significant, is the comparably huge numbers of women she employs... in fact, HRC's campaign employs more people than all the other campaigns combined... this also means far more women are impacted in her campaign than any other.
It's worth noting that this doesn't paint a complete picture of the actual situation as the report omits staffers paid as campaign consultants, does not account for the differences in full-time employee versus interns or contractors. and lastly excludes anyone who had not received at least four paychecks, or did not make a minimum annual salary of $24,000.
In short, the available information is far from perfect, so the report should probably be taken with a grain of salt.

(57,349 posts)Is this the report used to bash Bernie for not paying women equally which actually ended up showing that he pays them more?
Fascinating.

Staffers, for example, aren't included in the figure at all.
