Female White House Staffers Got Smaller Raises Than Men
Hunter Walker Jul. 8, 2014, 3:29 PM
Salary data released last week revealed average male staffers at the White House earn about 13% more than their female counterparts (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/male-female-pay-gap-remains-entrenched-at-white-house/2014/07/01/dbc6c088-0155-11e4-8fd0-3a663dfa68ac_story.html). The White House responded by pointing out six female staffers received high profile promotions in the past year. However, according to data collected by the conservative consulting firm Target Point, the women who were promoted at the White House received smaller raises than men.
While the average man promoted at the White House received a 24.4% raise, Target Point found the average raise for a promoted woman was 18.5%. Target Point also found 46 men were promoted at the White House between 2013 and 2014 compared to 41 women. Additionally, the firm noted 88 women left White House jobs in the past year while only 77 men departed.

It appears the White Houses "War on Women" continues unabated by the fact that it has been repeatedly exposed.
The Median White house salary is $70,700 (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/211045-white-house-staff-salaries-total-38m). $70,700 X 13% = $9,191. Men make $9191 more than women if their salaries are around the median. Wal-Mart has 9 $9 a month oral contraceptives for women adding up to a yearly cost of $108. Somehow THAT $108 a year is tantamount to a "War on Women", but paying women working in the White House $9,191 LESS than men is NOT a "War on Women". Go figure.
