"throughout the total company, women are actually compensated .28 percent more than men. But the gap persists for women in technical roles: Women in technical positions make .11 percent less than men, while women in non-technical roles make .35 percent more than men." So the gender gap favours women over all, goes both ways depending on whether the role is technical or not, and is within a fraction of a percent in both cases? Can the gender gap reasonably get any better than that?

This is an interesting question. People always throw tantrums about "lack of diversity" or "pay gap" but never actually mention a goal. "See, women get 70 cents for a dollar!" - which btw is a myth, but fine let's play along. What's the goal then? A perfect 1-to-1? Would 97 cents for a dollar be ok? How about 1.2 for a dollar? When will we consider that we're done with the pay gap? "Not enough black people in tech!" Fine, whatever the stats are now, what's the goal? Will we be fine with 13% since as far as I know that the share of the population in the US?
