Women of color earn even less. Studies at Cornell University have shown that the more children you have, the less a potential employer is willing to pay you – if you are a woman (if you are a man with children, your pay increases). In our avowedly capitalist country, money is a critical, objective measure of your worth, for better or worse. So despite all our cultural compliments about motherhood and apple pie, for decades women’s paychecks have declared: women and moms are worth less.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1A937288-C2AE-4B15-B8A1-54528B5B09D6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
