>Education shrank the results to single digits for each occupation, gender and work experience, so I decided to remove it from the final dataset. First of all you could have used buckets. Secondly, it doesn't seem like you have enough data judging from your charts. Dice did a study and found that >when you control for education, level of experience and parallel job titles, says Dice, men and women earn the same amounts. http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2013/03/20/women-are-now-paid-as-much-as-men-in-tech-study-finds/#1cfa195650dc http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2013/03/20/women-are-... > At that point I made a decision to change this by enforcing a new hiring rule. Next couple of new employees are going to be women up until we balance our team I hope you get sued

But you know they won't be, because good luck winning that case, and before that, good luck finding a lawyer to represent that case.

  IANAL but this seems like an easy case if the company has money in the bank. The CEO openly admitted on his personal blog that he plans to discriminate in the hiring process. Im guessing that would be enough to get past the chance of dismissal and then you're on to the discovery process which is so expensive the company would probably want to settle. Throw in negative PR and a pro bono (or fees from the case/settlement) lawyer who wants to make a name for themselves going after Silicon Valley gender discrimination and you've got a party. I probably don't know what I'm talking about though.

  Also, apparently anti-discrimination laws dont kick in until you have 15 employees, so what this guy is doing is probably not illegal anyway.
