Letter: There's a difference between what people are paid and what they earn
On Wednesday evening, Channel 5 aired an investigative documentary titled Why Do Men Earn More Than Women?
They don’t. They may be PAID more - but they certainly don’t EARN more.
There is all too often a great deal of difference between what people are paid and what they earn, whatever their gender.
Does anyone think it appropriate, for example, that someone who runs around a field kicking an inflated ball for hundreds of thousands of pounds a week actually EARNS more than a nurse or teacher, male or female?
Pay and earn are not synonyms.
