Idk if this is a good source, but if it is then how can you really point to generally .99 to every 1.00 as a really significant issue? If you want to say that women aren’t getting the same opportunities for better job positions then sure that’s probably generally true. However I don’t think you can legitimately say that the adjusted/controlled wage gap is that bad. At least there are many valid arguments for why the unadjusted/uncontrolled wage gap is bad.
That’s mostly because men, on average, negotiate for higher wages; if the women in such positions asked for higher wages, the disparity would be much lower.
This isn’t true as I was mistaken. The gap apparently is 1 cent when adjusting for positions. I think this is an overly simplistic view which unduly shifts the blame to women, when in fact society and our economic systems push women towards particular jobs (or motherhood) and compensates far less.
The gap exists between identical positions – that’s like the whole thing
