As of today, New Zealand women are effectively working for free until the end of the year because of the 8.2% gender pay gap.
Based on that gap, the average Kiwi woman is paid 336 days for the equivalent of 366 days for men, according to the Ministry for Women.
That’s a common way of looking at it.
My buddy who works in a snowy mining camp in absolutely remote Yukon on a 4wk/2wk shift - but after 3 days of air travel down to his house its more like 1wk off - says they have a lot of open roles to fill out there but no women applying.
The pay is awesome.
I’m curious. What’s the pay? Even better if you can post the job or something like it.
That is such a common and widespread shenario. In fact 20% of us do heavy manual labor in conditions that push your body to the limit and get paid a ton while doing it.
It is known.
