On average, women working in Obama’s Senate office were paid at least
$6,000 below the average man working for the Illinois senator. That’s
according to data calculated from the Report of the Secretary of the
Senate, which covered the six-month period ending Sept. 30, 2007. Of
the five people in Obama’s Senate office who were paid $100,000 or
more on an annual basis, only one — Obama’s administrative manager —
was a woman.

The average pay for the 33 men on Obama’s staff (who earned more than
$23,000, the lowest annual salary paid for non-intern employees) was
$59,207. The average pay for the 31 women on Obama’s staff who earned
more than $23,000 per year was $48,729.91. (The average pay for all 36
male employees on Obama’s staff was $55,962; and the average pay for
all 31 female employees was $48,729. The report indicated that Obama
had only one paid intern during the period, who was a male.)

McCain, an Arizona senator, employed a total of 69 people during the
reporting period ending in the fall of 2007, but 23 of them were
interns. Of his non-intern employees, 30 were women and 16 were men.
After excluding interns, the average pay for the 30 women on McCain’s
staff was $59,104.51. The 16 non-intern males in McCain’s office, by
comparison, were paid an average of $56,628.83.
