Because it is evidence of a broader trend, where womens’ and mens’ pay is equalizing for people under 30. This has long been predicted by some given the gap in college attainment.
What remains to be seen, and what has people acting weirdly, is whether this trend will stop once pay equalizes or if it will continue farther and result in a pay gap in the other direction.
- klyrs 5y agoWith an nationwide median pay ratio of 93% in men's favor, that is a weird thing to worry about now, isn't it?
- cmdli 5y agoWhen that gap is rapidly closing, I don’t think it’s weird to speculate how it will go in the future. We saw something similar with college attainment, where women were being pushed out and are now the majority, which is causing pains with both men and women in college right now. Is it weird to worry about the direction the future is heading? Plenty of problems can be seen before they arrive, so why not start thinking about them sooner?
