If women will do the same work for less money, why don't we see companies that rely on high volume and low margins hire a lot of females (so that 90%+ of their employees are female)?

A 30% cost savings on staff seems like it could be a huge competitive advantage.

If such a company exists, I would love to have someone point it out.




Because there aren't enough females in the field?


I'd think that if the average female was making 70% of fair salary, a company could offer them 80% and get enough to fill a vast majority of their positions while still saving an incredible 20% on those employees, giving them a great competitive advantage.
