If we’re trying to explain gender pay gaps or inequities, and we think there are at least two factors — one is, for a given job, women might be paid less, right?

Ironically, the South was really pro-immigrant for the longest time because it viewed these immigrants as a wonderful substitute for a labor force that was migrating north and had, for decades, not been slave.

First of all, I don’t think it’s in the training as much as it is in — and I think most people in the business would agree with me that, yes, there’s a lot of training for many different fields — accountants, lawyers, consultants — but most of the problem that they would claim there is, is in the handing off of information, in the passing off of information with high levels of fidelity and with trust.

Well, as someone who got married five years ago after living with someone for 26 years, I would have to get out of my own life into someone else’s. But I think that for many people, marriage creates more stability, either because they’ve made a commitment to themselves or those around them see them as more committed.

It seems as if we know a lot about the demand for social skills; we know a lot less about the supply of social skills. It may be that when we think about the skills of the past, we’re thinking about, first, manual skills, then motor skills and mental skills.

The real challenge there is to understand whether individuals are being paid less for absolutely equivalent work within the same firm — and that is the standard federal guideline that one is looking for, that’s the smoking gun — or whether individuals are getting paid less, for example, because they’re working at the boutique law firm where they have amenities that they want, or whether they’re working at the Madison Avenue, Park Avenue law firm where they have fewer flexible amenities.
