As I briefly touched on with regard to the social skills among young women right now, I find that they are having issues negotiating a proper salary. It comes down to confidence, as well. Just in the last, say, 10 years that I've been involved with hiring and managing employees I have noticed that there is almost no negotiation for wages when they first start. And that will follow them throughout their careers. They start at a lower wage, and each time they get an increase, it's still lower than what a male counterpart would have. That follows them until they retire, pretty much.
