Things They Should Research

Scott Adams muses that women's salaries might be lower because women are more hesitant to negotiate.

This gives me an idea for something that should be researched: what is the male/female ratio like in jobs where there is no room for negotiating salary?

If you're unionized, you can't negotiate your salary - it's in the collective agreement. Some jobs have salary legislated by the government - you can't negotiate those. And some employers simply pay what they pay, and if you don't like it they'll call in the next candidate. I wonder if this all has any effect
