It's weird when I tell people that make this wage gap comparison to look into the methodology and see that age and experience and job title aren't factored in. It's just all women's earnings versus all men's earnings regardless of other factors. People say they MUST have factored in those things otherwise the comparison wouldn't even make sense. But of course it doesn't make sense because those items aren't factored in. There still is a one or 2% gap, that's attributed to the fact that women dont negotiate hard for salary or things like that men do. I don't think that men should be penalized for negotiating better.
That still doesn't change the gender wage gap. Even though being an electrical engineer will pay more you'll still make less than a man. The difference isn't as great but still exists.
N,o its not there is data to prove it exists. It has been decreasing substantially over the years but it's still there. There are various articles/ scholary work to show it.
Not true at all. There are various articles saying its fake. Single mothers in thier twenties outearn men if you go by your method of not factoring everything in
Wrong. If you think it is true, you have drunk the coolaid.

Here's the bottom line, when you make an accurate comparison, same job, degree/training/certification requirements, experience level and so on, the wage gap vanishes. In fact, it has been shown that among young, single and childless people... those entering the workforce after graduating, Women out earn men by an *average* of 8%. This jumps to 12% in Los Angeles and to a great big whacking 21% in Atlanta.
.
That is not a typo. Women in Atlanta when accurately compared to their male peers, out earn them by 1/5th.

Yes paxxy, I'm talking to the guest.
They have obviously been fed cherry picked information based on a logically fallacious and inappropriate comparison that has been carefully formulated to prop up an ideological agenda.
Not the same guest as the first one but the gap is real and sommers is retarded tbh. If you read any of her actual work she really had no idea what she's talking about, if you guys want actual information take a gende studies class instead of reading .com websites and using that as a source
Yep, take that gender studies course and there will be a wage gap, confirming your bias... especially when it's compared to an engineering degree or even a skilled trade.

Also, childless women in their 20s out earn their male counterparts:
