This whole article is a big fat nothingburger.
This is less than $1,000 per employee that was adjusted. Given the salaries at Google, this is almost certainly a <1% difference and the pay bump is pretty much negligible. It's less than the cost of living adjustment that they probably get every year.
- benjohnson 8y agoYou're correct that the magnitude is insignificant - but it's still important because the study's conclusion contradicted the expectation that men are paid significantly more.
- turc1656 8y agoI suppose you have a point. I have believed (known?) for a while that this was simply not true so since the magnitude of this difference is what most would call not statistically significant, I treated it as worthless. Though, I imagine those who were still of the mindset that men were still paid much more would find this much more interesting.
