Women earn 64.3 percent what men earn in that field."

@5, tkc is on target, of course!

I'm not surprised Frizzelle is surprised, his usual state of existence. Obviously, with the collapse of any semblance of a consumer-based economy, dating back to around 1999, at least, and becoming progressively worse with the increased concentration of wealth and the economic meltdown beginning in 2007, in the fantasy-finance based economy, the top 15% account for the vast majority of that 70% consumption figure, ergo, women's high-end fashions sell the most (the most expensive clothing) and those women employed in that industry and similar positions therefore make the most.

Simple, simple, even Frizzelle should eventually grasp it!

I would also say that the generalized pay gap, as much as folks want to explain it away with personal choices in vocation, time away from work for child-rearing, etc. is an artifact of gender bias system-wide, which does make us wonder how to approach the problem and have any real impact.

What this really means is: everybody's pay sucks equally.

Young women make more than men in Vermont, for example.

None of the links or explanations explained how this factors into the equations for those jobs, which is a pretty significant detail, if you ask me.
