Ladies, if you thought you weren't making as much money as men...

...you're right.

This very cool infographic shows pay for men and women by state. Nice going, Louisiana and Wyoming.

Also, Happy World Octopus Day!!

Huh. My university did a study, and unsurprisingly, women who were accepted as profs before 2008 earn less than their male counterpart. The surprising bit - they're actually going to retroactively pay them some! Whodda thunk.

(Oddly, male profs who have started working after 2008 have been earning less than their female counterparts. This is.. odd.)
