Local pockets of inconsistency will always occur but the national gap is thankfully getting smaller. This is a good thing. The gap is still 7% overall. Most of the biggest gaps are in small or resort towns: so it kinda makes sense. The closer gaps are in big metros where there is added value to the company to try and pull in from the thinner workforce of women in stem. As more women get into stem there will be less bargaining power and therefore closer to national average for a position. Supply and demand.

>The gap is still 7% overall. Is that normalized to number of hours worked? Women often work less hours than men.

  It’s not normalized for any of the factors that actually determine wages earned by any worker of any gender. So therefore the number is virtually useless, except to identify aggregate level choices made by men and women.
