In 2022, women earned an average of 82% of what men earned. This was about the same as in 2002.
Can we break it down to more than just sound bites? Is starting wage/salary different? For everything equal (education, experience, position, length of employment), are female employees actually being offered less pay?
What are some of the mitigating factors? Just an overall summary (we know how data can be interpreted based on bias)? Gap in employment, e.g., due to raising a family (still mainly a woman’s responsibility) and re-entering the workforce, thus forfeiting the opportunity for raises during the absence from the workforce? Are raises for women less?
If women can do the same job for less, why aren’t employers hiring more women, since they can get the same productivity for less money?
Just thinking out loud.
