re: If the Wage Gap Exists, Why Do Companies Hire Men?

When controlled for education, profession, hours worked, etc... the wage gap shrinks to roughly 4-5% depending on the study and research. There are always going to be outliers and individual cases of discrimination but to say the wage gap is a major issue is dishonest.
I'm confident that whoever the democratic nominee is will make this a part of their platform and will trump the .77 statistic because people will take it at face value, which is another reason to hate politicians.

I would still consider a 5% gap to be a big issue.
