This is debatable in this case. The grouped model might be a better fit to the data: it indicates a higher bias in salaries at higher skill levels.
It sounds completely plausible that the gender bias for unskilled workers is less than for high skilled workers.
Models can be under-fit as well as over fit. Just using a dummy variable for gender might not properly capture interactions like this.
But of course it’s always possible that this is just an artefact of the training data.
