On average, women who are employed full time earn less than men earn. I'm going to read several reasons why this might be so. Please tell me how important you think each reason is: very important, important, somewhat important, or not at all important. For example,... B. Women's family responsibilities keep them from putting as much time and effort into their jobs as men do. How important Do you think this reason is for explaining why women earn less?
