Women face a lot of challenges in the workplace, but there are some issues that they deal with more than others.
The seven biggest salary problems women face as employees and professionals, according to CareerBuilder, include:
1. Women receive lower pay than men for the same work
2. Women are less likely to negotiate for higher salaries and are in danger of being paid less than their male counterparts for doing the same job
3. Women make up only about a third of all science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals, even though they make up half of all college graduates in these fields
4. Women are less likely to advance into higher positions within their companies because they don't ask for raises, don't negotiate well, or don't express confidence in their abilities
5. Women are underrepresented in the highest-paying jobs.
6. Women are paid less than men for doing the same job in different industries or locations, even when they have equal or higher qualifications, skills, and experience.
7. The gap between men's and women's pay increases when they have children.
