I saw a statistic not long ago (none / 1)

that pay for 20-30 year-old women in NYC and a few other big US towns was higher than for 20-30yo male of the same generation

Re: I saw a statistic not long ago (4.00 / 2)

I suspect some statistics on gender pay gap do not compare pay for the same job or correct for age or education or length of service or whatever, so the question of why some occupations are paid more than others and about the gender balance of various occupations is all blended into an aggregate gender pay gap.

That statistic needs to be looked at. For one, how is the large percentage (48.2% in 2003!!) of unemployed African-American males figured-in?
