The article put the significance of the $74,000 pay gap into context by comparing it to the $74,580 income of an average American household. The author notes that the salary gap percentage \u2013 66 cents to every dollar earned by a male dealer \u2013 is 17 percent less than that of women in other jobs. The article reveals that when asked, only 6.3 percent of men in dealerships surveyed believe the industry \u201cis not welcoming to women\u201d compared to nearly one third of female respondents. As successful car dealers put in an average of 55 hour weeks, asserts\u00a0<em>Jalopnik<\/em>, \u201cthe world of car dealerships is truly the exemplary\u00a0\u00a0old boys\u2019 club, rewarding long hours and grueling working conditions.\u201d The article cites the response of a 25-year veteran in the business; as she confessed, \u201cI have never been so disrespected and unappreciated in my life. I am mansplained to constantly by customers and coworkers.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Rather than dismiss the $74,000 pay gap as the product of questionable research methods, <em>Jalopnik<\/em> uncovers responses from the study that provide insight into conditions that influence the incredulous gender pay inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/9780847698639-us.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1727\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/9780847698639-us.jpg 333w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/9780847698639-us-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In 2000, sociologist Helene Lawson authored\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/ladies-on-the-lot-helene-m-lawson\/1112173316\">Ladies on the Lot<\/a><\/em>, a comprehensive study of 49 women who worked in car sales from 1987-1999. Although this project was conducted over a quarter-century ago, the conditions under which the women worked, and the obstacles they faced in the field, are eerily similar to those referenced in the recent <em>Jalopnik<\/em> piece. As Lawson argues, women entered the field for the same reasons as men &#8211;\u00a0they were attracted to the work for the possibility of a high income; they sought car sales as a way to achieve the \u201cAmerican Dream.\u201d However, once on the job the women were subject to sexual harassment, isolation from male colleagues, criticism for perceived &#8220;inadequacy,&#8221; exclusion from professional training, lack of mentoring, and admonishment for &#8220;feminine&#8221; style selling techniques rather than the male intimidation practices preferred by male colleagues. As the author notes, the expectation that they would work 12 hour days and 60 hour weeks was problematic, particularly for women with children who required child care. Male managers often positioned female dealers in the back of the sales floor with lower priced vehicles, which negatively affected commissions. Working in car sales, the author asserts, \u201cinvolves long hours, high pressure, questionable ethics, no salary guarantee, and little job security\u201d (Sacks 780). As Lawson reports, while female dealers who adapted more aggressive, \u2018fast-talking\u2019 selling techniques and sacrificed family and social life for the job were happy with the money they earned, the overwhelming majority of women in car sales wound up \u201cchasing an elusive dream of autonomy and economic sufficiency that was just out of their grasp\u201d (Mahar).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"388\" src=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1616542064951.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1728\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1616542064951.jpeg 800w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1616542064951-300x146.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1616542064951-768x372.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kurt Russell in <em>Used Cars<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Despite the claim of &#8220;faulty survey methodology,&#8221; the revelation that women in automotive sales earn one third less than male peers indicates conditions that exist within the car dealership culture are disadvantageous if not inhospitable to women for a variety of reasons.
