In the recent recession, the employment rate fell less steeply for women and we were advised by Stats Canada that it was probably related to the loss of manufacturing jobs, which were good paying jobs but were more often held by men.
So, I'm going to another slide they gave us that has interesting information. Women have a lower wage than men in all occupational groups, which is very interesting. But they said that, adjusted for experience, etc., women are still paid 90% of what men are. Is it true in the federal civil service and at PSAC that, adjusted for experience, men get paid 10% more than women, among your members?
