Who you work with just might matter, at least when it comes to your paycheck. Regardless of their gender, managers who work with more women, or whose bosses are women, face less pay than those who work with more men, according to a new study. And some may be paid less depending on the age of their subordinates.
STUDIES HAVE documented pay gaps for more than a decade, with women earning less than men doing the same work. This time, researchers at Columbia University and Arizona State University focused on who people worked with and whether it made a difference.
They surveyed over 2,100 managers across a broad range of fields about their pay and their coworkers — peers, subordinates and bosses. The more women in a manager’s immediate workplace, they found, the lower their pay — regardless of whether the employee was a man or a woman. Managers’ pay also dropped the farther their employees’ ages strayed from a median of 40.
