Study: Women who run nonprofits earn less than men

According to the Pittsburgh Business Times, "A study released Tuesday found that salaries of female leaders of western Pennsylvania nonprofits are lower than their male counterparts."

This study, sponsored by the United Way of Allegheny County and the Bayer Center of Nonprofit Management at Robert Morris University, showed that women leaders earned an average of $64,830 last year, or $27,861 less than the $92,691 male leaders were paid.

Also, the study, which looked at 181 nonprofit groups in western Pennsylvania, also found that black leaders earned slightly more -- $76,956 -- than white leaders -- $75,850.

So far I've found Pink Magazine (http://www.pinkmagazine.com/index.html) to be a good source of advice and stories to help "level the playing field" in terms of salaries and opportunities for women in the workplace.
