The bottom line here is that the gender pay gap does exist. Even when controlling for a host of factors, from age to experience to education to industry to time in the field, women consistently make less than their male counterparts. In some locations and industries, the gap is smaller than 80.5 cents on the dollar. But in many locations and industries, it’s much larger. It’s still not unheard of for women to make half what their male counterparts make, even for the same work.
Participation is voluntary and at your own discretion.
