Time it would take to reach parity in pay between female and male executives, at current salary growth rates, according to a British study. Even though women executives' pay is increasing faster than that of their male counterparts, it would still take until 2109 to close the gap. For the same job, male executives earn an average £42,441 ($69,168), compared with women's £31,895 ($51,981). The£10,546 ($17,187) gap has increased from last year's £10,031 ($16,348), despite women's salaries having grown by 2.4% and men's by 2.1% in the 12 months ending in February 2011. [via The Guardian]
