Study finds women in tech still earn far less than men
- gwright 11y agoThis article is a mess. It says: > the largest pay gap — adjusted for experience, education, position, location, and industry — existed among certain types of computer programmers, with men making on average 28.3% more than their female counterparts. But then a few paragraphs later it says: > Adjusted for age, education and years of experience, Glassdoor found a pay gap of 19.2%. When Glassdoor compared workers with the same job title, employer and location, that gap fell to an average of 5.4% (94.6 cents per dollar). So it isn't clear if the story is about a 28.3% gap, a 19.2% gap or a 5.4% gap, which I would argue is sort of important to understanding or addressing the situation. In particular the 28.3% gap may be more about the women filling jobs with a different distribution across industry and experience from men, which is a different problem then pure gender bias in pay, which it seems like the 5.4% seems to measure.
