For This I Waited? One in Eight Working Women Who Are Promoted Does Not Receive a Pay Increase American Demographics 16,10 (October 1994): 14,16 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Demographics Inc. Keyword(s): College Education; Wage Dynamics; Wages; Wages, Women Although a job promotion usually means more money, a raise is not guaranteed, especially for women. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' National Longitudinal Survey, which is based on 1991 interviews of 5,000 women aged 37 to 48, shows that 13 percent of working women who are promoted on the job do not get a pay increase. In the survey, 94 percent of women in managerial occupations received more pay with their promotions, while only 76 percent of women in service jobs received more money. Moreover, women who work full-time are far more likely than their part-time counterparts to get a raise when they get a promotion--89 percent versus 78 percent. A college degree is also helpful. Additional survey results on promotion of women are presented. |
