Burnout and the Pay Gap
Captions available
The idea
Burnout is long-term job stress leading to exhaustion and disillusionment; US women earn about eighty-two percent of men's median hourly earnings, a raw gap.
In practice
The gap smaller among young adults and widening with age, alongside a motherhood wage penalty and a fatherhood wage premium.
Where people slip
The raw gap compares all workers, not similarly qualified ones, mixing discrimination with differences in jobs and hours.
