Some Horrifying Facts I Just Read ...

Just read some stats that horrified, but didn't surprise me.
These are:

Women still earn only 80 cents for every dollar a man earns. On average, women pay $500-$1000 more than men when buying cars - and they pay 46% more for goods and services than men. A US study of the job negotiations of graduating university students found that male students were eight times more likely to negotiate starting salaries and pay than female students. 

If you're interested in learning more, there's a webinar on 30 March entitled: Negotiate Your Way To Success. The webinar which is sponsored by Optus Business features the authors of A Woman's Guide to Successful Negotiating.

If you're able to make it, do let me know your thoughts & talk to you soon ...
