Women in the federal government earn 89 cents for every dollar paid to men. President Barack Obama cites that statistic in an executive order on equal pay in the federal workforce. He is directing agencies to report within 90 days their policies for setting pay to the Office of Personnel Management. They'll report on practices for paying new employees, returning staff and those who work part time because they may be caring for family. OPM in turn will set a governmentwide strategy. The order says the agency may consider changes to the General Schedule classification system, guidance to agencies and recommendations for new laws.
More importantly, was it investigated that they deliver 100% of what the male subjects demonstrate, in relation to their job? It's federal, which means output is already 75% less than the private sector.

Doubt-it!
