I was able to obtain a '98 ratio for hourly wages for full time workers at www.russellsage.org/publications/working_papers/blaukahn_jep.pdf Women 25-34 averaged 85% of the wages of men during that period. So, hours worked is indeed a factor, but not the only factor. Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
