It was mentioned multiple times, specifically as a good and great book. The book explains why men earn more through 25 differences in choices between men and women, some of which include men taking more hazardous jobs, longer hours, and jobs that are less desirable.
The boy crisis we mentioned why men earn more as well which is a very good book his most recent is the boy crisis as I said 2018 co authored with John Gray.
I think that is a great book.
You know you point out that you earn more for doing jobs that are less desirable intrinsically desirable in some sense I mean that's part of the equation at least their jobs are more dangerous they take you away from home more often et cetera and those are disproportionately male jobs I mean the guy that I saw who got demolished so badly.
I think you have 13 reasons that men earn more you know that's quite a few reasons and privilege isn't one of them.
It's actually 25 differences between the choices that men tend to make and the choices that women tend to make 25 25 differences are things that do lead to men earning more money but could you list a few of those now because it's such an interesting it's such an interesting topic.
Men are more likely to take hazardous jobs they're more likely to take jobs like logging or trucking they're more likely to take jobs that that require them to work weekends or evenings they're more likely to take jobs that.
That have very little people contact like being an engineer and but most men do like people contact but many of the jobs with less people contact like being an engineer mathematician tend to pay less they men are more likely to let's see a work a longer a longer hours so yeah so the US Bureau of Labor statistics when you we do hear somebody works full time that only.
It means that they work 35 hours a week or more not 40 hours a week was what you usually think of as full time well the average person who works 44 hours per week makes twice the money as somebody who works 35 hours a week it's twice I see why remember one of your stats which was I think 10% more working hours is 20% more income.
Yes, nothing like that but that's a much more dramatic stat statistic 44 hours is twice as valuable as 35 hours yes on it on it and men are much more likely to work that 44 hours or more per week right and thus not be there for their children as exposed in family court.
The reason for the gap is very very complex and involves many factors including the ones we discussed here which you take apart so nicely in your book why men earn more I think you have 13 reasons that men earn more you know that's quite a few reasons and privilege isn't one of them.
