Sorry Liberals, claiming that, under Obama’s administration, the gap between wage earnings between men and women has shrunk doesn’t mean his policies are good.

Women’s wages didn’t move higher because they’re earning more. It’s a result of the work force deterioration for women, whose wages no longer affect averages.

Look, low-income jobs are typically first to go, and women have been hit hard in this category. When low-income women lose their jobs, the wage average moves up…

…because jobless women no longer get included in the average!

Example:

110 women earning $1925/hr collectively have an average wage of $17.50/hour. Ten women at the bottom of the wage scale (avg. $8.50/hr) get laid off. The 100 women working earn $1840/hr collectively. The new average for women: $18.40/hr.

Claiming a higher wage rate for women is a good thing while ignoring the cause is more women losing their jobs, is like applauding a lowering unemployment rate because many of the jobless have stopped looking for work and aren’t counted.

(Oohhh, wait…Democrats keep doing that too. Do we detect a trend?)
