Across the entire population, young women without children make more than young men without children, and have for awhile. See e.g. [0] This is driven by an elimination or reversal of the wage gap in many of the major metropolitan areas like NYC, LA, San Diego, Atlanta, DC ("some cities"). The study you're referring to [1] is for young men and women, regardless of whether they have children or not, for whom the gap is $0.93. You might counter that this is due to women having higher post-secondary educational achievement levels. Which is to say, analyses of the pay gap need to be conditioned on other relevant demographic variables to say anything meaningful about discrimination. Indeed. Once you control for all variables, for every $1 men make, women make $0.99 [2].
