Getting a Job: Is There a Motherhood Penalty? (PDF; 149 KB)
"Relative to other kinds of applicants, mothers were rated as less competent, less committed, less suitable for hire, promotion, and management training, and deserving of lower salaries. Mothers were also held to higher performance and punctuality standards. Men were not penalized for being a parent, and in fact, appeared to benefit from having children on some measures. We discuss the implications of these findings for the theory presented and for enduring patterns of gender inequality in paid work." | | | | |

I have seen this first-hand. My boss told me that he wouldn't give me a raise because I wasn't the "primary breadwinner!"
