As of today, New Zealand women are effectively working for free until the end of the year because of the 8.2% gender pay gap.
Based on that gap, the average Kiwi woman is paid 336 days for the equivalent of 366 days for men, according to the Ministry for Women.
That’s a common way of looking at it.
My buddy who works in a snowy mining camp in absolutely remote Yukon on a 4wk/2wk shift - but after 3 days of air travel down to his house its more like 1wk off - says they have a lot of open roles to fill out there but no women applying.
The pay is awesome.
That is such a common and widespread shenario. In fact 20% of us do heavy manual labor in conditions that push your body to the limit and get paid a ton while doing it.
It is known.
I’m curious. What’s the pay? Even better if you can post the job or something like it.
