Lawyer Moms Earn Less Than Lawyer Dads

Tentative results of a draft study of 700 University of Michigan law grads found that

• Male grads who became fathers earned were 15 percent to 20 percent more than childless men.
• Mothers earned 10 percent to 15 percent less than childless women, and 25 percent to 35 percent less than fathers.
• Childless women earn about 8 percent or 9 percent less than childless men (the study cautioned that the "statistical robustness" of this finding was somewhat weak).
