quote:

Among recent college graduates from 2009 to 2013, women earn roughly 97 cents for every dollar young men earn for doing the same job and having similar qualifications, according to new research from economists at the New York Federal Reserve.


quote:

Women who major in these fields are paid particularly well (more than men) after graduation: engineering, treatment therapy, art history, construction services, or business analytics.


quote:

On the other hand, young men who major in these fields still get a lot higher pay: agriculture, animal and plant sciences, general social sciences, or early childhood education.


In other words, where there is (generally speaking) a shortage of one gender, they tend to earn more.

This is way more believable than the $0.77 per dollar that is often kicked around.

I read once in Bargaining for Advantage that the big factor standing out between Harvard MBA graduates(women vs men) was that 57% of men asked for more money where only 7% of women asked for more money.

That's because nobody wants a male massage therapist. Even most women want a female massage therapist.
