Reddit: According to their tax returns the Clinton Foundation pays women 77 cents on the dollar

On their 2013 and 2014 tax returns, the highest compensated male employees made on average $261,360 and $240,815 respectively, whereas the highest compensated female employees made $185,931 and $201,609 respectively — meaning that within the past two years women holding top ranking positions in the Clinton Foundation made on average 77% of what men do: that’s LESS than the national average of 79%. I would’ve gone further back to calculate a more meaningful average, but there wasn’t a single woman listed as a top compensated employee in 2012! And yes these averages don’t take into consideration job experience/performance, work history, education etc. but there's certainly more than enough adequately-qualified and experienced women in the world to hire. For a political campaign that prides itself for driving home feminist issues like pay and workplace equity, her own "nonprofit" says otherwise. #WhichHillary

If she did she would return the money she received from the Saudis.

I hate Hillary, and yet I feel I have to defend here lol, those averages mean basically nothing if we can't compare 1:1 which positions those people are on, the hours each worked, etc...

Im guessing that the men who make more are working more hours or have more responsibilities.

Do you think that they should pay them more just because they are a woman? What if somebody only wants to work 32 hours. If they are a woman we should fire them to avoid being called out for paying women less?
