It’s amazing how things get a little changed in the reporting of them, isn’t it?
Here’s Harriet Harman in the Commons yesterday:
It is true to say that the pay gap between women working full-time and
men working full-time is about 12 per cent., but the pay gap between
women working part-time and men working full-time is 40 per cent.,
Here’s Tom Shipp in The Guardian:
"We also need to tackle the pay gap between men and women which stands
at 12% in full-time work and 40% in part-time work and contributes to
the unequal distribution of work in the home."
D’ye think Tom would understand the difference there, even if we explained it to him?
