Glass ceiling not so urgent?

Linucs writes "From this press release:

BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) October 21, 2004 -- When asked what causes them the most stress in the office, the majority of the 2,000 members surveyed by the Downtown Women’s Club (DWC) -- a business networking organization for women -- ranked “too much work” well above the “glass ceiling.”

Looks like the "glass ceiling" is not regarded as the most important problem. But here comes the surprise:

What is surprising is the low ranking of stress about the glass ceiling and lack of equal pay. Especially when, for the first time in 12 years, we have seen an increase in the gender gap, with women make only 75.5 cents for every dollar that men earn, according to a release this summer by the U.S. Census Bureau. “It’s almost a Catch-22 where women are working too much to focus on the gender gap, and as a result are creating a situation where they’ll have to work even harder and longer for less money in the future,” concluded Danielson.

Now it looks like women work too much, therefore they cannot spare some time to complain about the gender gap (?)."
