Well, my point, Koncerned, is that it isn't necessarily oil jobs where the discrepancy in pay lies. She was paid $2.00 less an hour even though she was in charge of a section of the store and had already worked there for two years. Even with her two miserly raises of .10 cents each, she was still making less than two new hire males. Do you understand now?  Or is it still too hard for you to understand?
