Two questions (please don't read as skepticism, the analysis matters regardless of answers): 1. Does this analysis control for experience at same age? 2. Does it control for field choice?

This isn't new. It's been justified to pay women less since we were allowed by men to join the workforce, and instead of improving ever, it's widened. UT continously ranks last, near 70 cents for every $1 for same work and same qualifications. Women with more experience/education still make less.

I don't know how to more clearly indicate that these question were for understanding what the data says, not to justify ignoring it. But we need to understand what the issue is (e.g. focusing only on pay equity in apples to apples kind will never fully solve the inequity).

men earn more than women in every single occupation. and white men outearn women of color in the same occupation and with the same education level by double-digit percentages

Yes, this is well known. I was curious what this data was adding to those established facts.

College graduates are paid how much? I'm missing out.

even among classroom teachers, where women vastly outnumber men, their pay is >90% of men's pay. outrageous

Where?

Every single state in the US. Utah women make about 70 cents for every $1 paid to a male counterpart for the same work. One of the original excuses was women don't need the same money because they can just get married, and if we do pay them the same, they won't get married and have babies.

That's terrible. I wondered whether the same was true in China, Brazil or South Africa.
