Same full-time job, same company, same start date.

That is understood and a factor, of course. Yet, it is not enough to account for the 30% discrepancy in Louisiana (unsurprisingly the greatest of all fifty states) and the 20% nationally.

John and Susan, both unmarried and freshly out of college holding degrees in accounting, apply for employment at the same corporation. With all qualifications being equal Susan is offered a position starting at $35K per year. John is offered an equal position starting at $40K per year. The employer, from past experience, was correct in assuming that this would be acceptable salaries to the new applicants.

Tim and June, both with two school age children and a working spouse apply for jobs with the same corporation. Same qualifications. June has two less years of total work experience, but still has ample experience and is otherwise completely qualified for the required position. John is given a level three position while June is offered a position classified at level two. The difference between the two pay levels is $12K per year. Tim and Jane do the exact same work on a day to day basis.

Could it have something to do with the fact that June has two years less experience than Tim?

Susan, June, Jane, Tim, and John are all morons for not negotiating their initial pay rate.

Guy or girl the more money you make me the more money I give you.

If I hire you at $15 an hour and you take it that’s your bad because I probably would have given you $20.
I negotiated a salary last month and got 15k a year more for the job than I was offered. The WOMAN I was in negotiations with didn’t bat an eye.
Didn’t take the job but everything is negotiable if you have the qualifications.
