  While the salary trend in new hires out of school is an encouraging sign, your comment seems rather selective: the rest of the article you linked points out that in every situation other than "just out of college with no experience" the pay gap is real: > Overall, women hired for jobs in technology, sales and marking were offered > salaries that were 3% less than what men were offered, but at some companies the > gender pay gap was as high as 30%, the study showed. > Men received higher salary offers for the same job title at the same company 69% > of the time

    Another article: http://qa.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/apr/09/genevieve-wood/what-pay-gap-young-women-out-earn-men-cities-gop-p/ http://qa.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/apr/09/g... it seems the pay gap is more an age thing. When we say give women equal pay, we should be saying "give older women equal pay" . This makes me think its a lagging metric that will be solved as todays 20 somethings become 40 and 60 year olds. If we want to accelerate the solution its not to give young womena a raise, but older women. Its also hard because depending on how the numbers are calculated it maybe fair to pay older women less once you account for a lifetime of choosing lifestyle over earning potential as many note women vs men typically do.
