Women working in Europe have a ways to go to catch up with their male counterparts wage-wise, according to a report released August 2008. On average, women in Europe earn almost 16 percent less than men working similar jobs, according to a new study released by Eurofound's European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO) in Dublin.
