Companies pay disproportionately high salaries to CEOs and other
high-powered professionals willing to live and breathe their jobs,
on-call 24/7, ready to pick up and travel. It's a phenomenon
Harvard historian and economist Claudia Goldin calls "greedy work"
and she says it's a big reason why the pay gap between men and
women persists -- because the people typically tasked with caring
for kids, the house, or elderly parents simply can't put in as much
time and energy at the office. However, she notes, there are signs
of change, with younger generations demanding better balance.
