It is interesting that if a firm hires a woman and she can't get hired at another firm because they have sexist hiring practices, she will not have leverage to negotiate a higher salary at either firm. In terms of pure market forces, it makes sense for firms to seek out women like in this article. They get more talented employees and they get to pay them less, not because they are sexist, but because of market forces with their competition being sexist. (Please note I'm talking about this purely objective. I want a world where women get equal pay for equal work.) Of course, it is a monkey see monkey do world so once hiring women gains traction and companies that do are more competitive than those that don't, their salaries will equalize.
