Golly I bet no one ever thought of comparing men and women's pay in the same job.

Copy and paste time.

When you compare apples to apples, the wage gap disappears. Young, childless, single urban women earn 8 percent more than their male counterparts. Women who have never had a child earn 113 percent of what men earn. Unmarried college-educated males between the ages of 40 and 64 earn nearly 15 percent less than their female counterparts.

Furchtgott-Roth cites a 2005 study by economists June O’Neill and Dave O’Neill, which found that for the most part “the gender gap is attributable to choices made by women concerning the amount of time and energy to devote to a career.” They continue: “There is no gender gap in wages among men and women with similar family roles.”

In addition to being more likely to seek part-time work, women are also more likely to have gaps in their employment history and to enter lower-paying fields. The consulting company Consad, in a 2009 report for the Labor Department, found that these factors account for most of the pay gap. Correct for them, and men make only 5 percent to 7 percent more than women for the same work.

Even the American Association of University Women, in a recent report playing up the pay gap, conceded that 5 percent is a reasonable estimate of the difference between men’s and women’s wages that cannot be explained by choice of occupation, employment history and the like.

Wow, it's almost like you didn't read this thread and the contrary evidence. If you are going to copy and paste, at least provide a source so that we can compare the two and decide for ourselves which one we believe.

Lazy much?

Thank you I read the study. It's analysis of race was retry solid but they had problems on gender. The paper assumes without proof that married women voluntariky sort themselves into occupations which are lower paying in exchange for flexibility. It fails to consider that women with children or likely to have children are passed over for positions requiring high commitment and therefore high pay because the employer does not trust that they will deliver. If society expects that these women are only good for mommy track jobs, that is all that they may get. Even worse it may be that it is all these women think they deserve.

Really not retry.
