Women M.B.A.s Continue to Lag in Pay, Promotions - WSJ.com

Not a huge surprise here, but the WSJ reports that women continue to earn much less than men when both hold MBA's. A study of more than 9000 respondents graduating from 26 MBA programs between 1996 and 2007 (that's what we academics call a large sample size) found that starting from the first job, post-MBA women lag behind men. More than 60% of women described their first job as entry level (compared to 46% of men), and on average women earned $4600 less than men did on their first job.
