re: Gender gap in White House pay draws scrutiny.

What's interesting about this is that the staffers hold similar jobs and the women are paid less.

In the nationwide job market that is not the case as many careers women seek are just typically lower pay than the careers men seek.

I'd like to see a study of the average pay of a woman nurse to a man nurse, woman district manager of mcdonalds to a man district manager, etc. I bet it's closer than the white house' staffers pay is. My Girlfriends parents work in the same field for a company and make similar pay
